Let freedom ring... please
Fourth flags, Amos
I try to be patriotic... really, I do... but these strange days, when I see Old Glory waving in the wind, I'm also deeply, deeply troubled by what I feel is a perversion of the basic values that the flag represents. Accordingly to the prevailing "wisdom," at my full-retirement age, I'm supposed to feel that the country is going in the wrong direction—and I certainly do believe that—but the antidote is that I'm supposed to be leaning right... and the more right the better... for solutions. Wrong. I hope the flag stands for more than a return to feudalism and the exact opposite of freedom. And I hope I don't get shot for my beliefs. Enough said. Happy Fourth. I'm going for a swim.
