Today is our country's birthday. We are 230 years old. Why do I get the feeling that our country seems to be dying a slow death???

We are in a war that we will not win and have only seen our young men and women die in. It is a place in the world that has never been stable and might never will be.

Why do we always take Israel's side in everything??? Ok, I understand both sides of their issues. It is time we look at both sides and not make judgments against others.

Why aren't we taking care of Korea?? They are the country that might be able to take us down and today, on our birthday, they decided to flex their muscles. A friend called me at 5:45 this afternoon asking what part of the country is being attacked by Korea and why nothing has been done about it. My answer, we are to busy taking care of the oil to worry about someone else.

Not to mention, why aren't we doing something about health care, NCLB (the worst law this administration passed), and equal rights for all?????

In Eagan, MN, the parade that K and I attended, is the home of our Governor. He has lived here forever, and is running for his job again. Did he bother to show up or even have people giving out stickers? NO!! I hope people took notice.........He was a state representative and was ok, for a republican. Then, when he was elected governor, he became a BUSH YES GUY...... SCARY!!!!

Tonight I go to bed wondering if I am proud to be a citizen of this land. Before 9-11, I Swear, I was the only one who got goosebumps listening to the anthem. I was the most patriotic person I knew. I loved this country. Today, people's phone conversations are being recorded, our call records looked at, the books you check out from the publice library are being recored, all in the name of terrorism. BULLSHIT!! Our rights are slowly being taken a way from us and not many people are seeing this.

WE hope all had a wonderful 4th.

Love ya,

Mary and Kiran
