We are a Vast Nation Built by Many Diverse Immigrants

�

We are Many Nationalities Religions Languages and Creeds

�

Some Would Now Have Us All Be the Same in Every Way

�

I For One Rejoice in Our Diversity and in Our Ability to be Free

�

And I Hope You Get to Spend

�

Your Independence Day

�

Doing What You Like to Do

�

In Your Own Unique Way

�

Happy Independence Day to One and All

�

(Even to That Very Nasty Queen A Pax,

Who Wants Everyone to Give Up Their Cookies,

Just Because She Thinks We All Should)

�

Never, I Say!

�

�I know not what course others may take;

But as for me, give me liberty to eat my cookies,

Or give me death.�

�

Patrick Henry Ogre,

March 23, 1775

Oh that's the American Spirit that started it all in a nutshell, Ed!
Or should I say, "eggshell" for no good cookie was ever made without
breaking some eggs. You and yours enjoy your 4th!

Amen to that Ed! We still have Irish who still speak Celtic, as well as Irish. What a shame if they were coaxed to give up all old traditions, just as the Cherokee were once forced to quit speaking their language and holding ceremonial dances that were part of their culture. We would all lose something magical... Happy Fourth, may individual Freedom always be an 'American Tradition'!
