Happy 4th of July

Freedom and Independence
Come With Great Responsibility

If you’ve never read the declaration, you should. As a marketing
copywriter I appreciate its simple, yet powerful language. You can
read it here:

I’m thinking of starting an annual family tradition. Reading the
Declaration of Independence out loud and remembering that each one
of the signers volunteered to put a target on their head when they
signed it.

Freedom and Independence comes with great responsibility.

You can look through the profiles of each of the signers here:

And if you’re feeling especially independent, read through the
original ten amendments of the Bill of Rights. The first thought
that came to my mind was, who’s idea was it to complicate things?
