In view of what your country has been doing for the last five years or so you really ought to suspend your national self-congratulation and replace it with a time of mourning and national repentance, at least until you have learned that "liberty" does not mean invading other sovereign countries to impose on them your idea of liberty rather than the one they have chosen for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, if the separation between church and state means anything, no churches should be celebrating nationalistic holidays of this kind.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88027082135973561.post-70052511050752635622007-07-04T19:50:00.000+04:002007-07-04T19:50:00.000+04:00Funny post...reminded me of the tolerant idea of s...Funny post...reminded me of the tolerant idea of singing rounds of "My Country Tis of Thee" combined with "God Save the Queen" (same tune, alternating verses)...<BR/><BR/>But what really caught my attention this morning was the happy dog in the bottom of the picture?Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269136001570531606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88027082135973561.post-61626642225141445842007-07-04T19:10:00.000+04:002007-07-04T19:10:00.000+04:00I love it!
