I wish all freedom-loving and productive Americans a very happy Fourth of July, and salute all those who maintain the spirit of the Founding Fathers today.
Happy Independence Day!
I can say–not as a patriotic bromide, but with full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots–that the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world.
–Ayn Rand
Since I have no one to say these words aloud to, this seems an appropriate place to repeat them …
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Happy Independence Day! 
Happy Fourth everybody! Whoo-hoo!
