Henson–Thanks for sharing that…like I said to you earlier this week, I had the chance to see the Declaration of Independence on Display at the National Archives. It was one of those moments in life when you’re so close to something so important it’s not just like touching history, but it’s like a wormhole connection to another place and time–while in the course of major world events, very few will be able to recognize their importance at the time, but through the the proximity to just a document like this, it really takes you to that moment in time, to that place, to that moment that really changed the world in the most significant of ways.

Crazy Working Mom–Et tu!

Len–like I said earlier to you, I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for our troops in Iraq. They really must be wondering what they are fighting for, because it’s not their freedom, our freedom, or even the Iraqis freedom. I really wish we could bring them home and they could enjoy the fireworks–even on a 98 degree night.

Mrs. Mecomber–great point…Especially after the breakup of the Former Soviet Union, there are a lot of countries in the world out there a lot younger than we are, even if their culture might still be a little bit our senior.

Kimmie–anytime you want to talk about Detroit just let me know. I’m heading back to Detroit this Thursday for four days. I’ll also check out your blog. Ken’s stuff is amazing. I’m glad you found your way here via Ken.

Cheers!

If I could make a suggestion though, when you make a new post, the first thing you should do is go ahead and submit it to digg yourself. This will make it easier for entrecarders and others to digg the post as well. Especially when we’re dropping cards, it’s a lot easier to click a digg this button than to take the time to submit the post and write a description for you that might not be as characteristic of the post as you would prefer. If you submit the post to digg yourself after you write it, you control the description content on digg, you make it easier for entrecarders to click the button, and probably thus increase the liklihood of getting greater hits on digg.

Have an awesome 4th of July!

Great minds think alike, because I posted something similar.

Cheers!
