Freedom's Ring

On this 4th of July (not memorial day to our troops) we hear freedom ring with the words of two Americans. One the lawyer at the Casey Anthony trial, reminds the jury of dead child's "mandible in anatomical position." The other a nutritionist suggests grilling peaches on the grill "with a balsamic reduction."

Yes, we've come a long way from the original idea of freedom, independence and common sense. Yep, we've lost them to meaningless words, grandstanding, vegetarian political correctness, panic-mongering, nannying etc. The list is as endless as the complaints leveled against George III who also had to be overthrown.

Happy Independence Day!
