You're right about the clarity of vision and immense courage. I'm not there yet but I'd like to believe I'm heading that way.Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-38056720152199126632016-07-07T11:11:55.174-07:002016-07-07T11:11:55.174-07:00Thanks for your post Mirka because, honestly, I do...Thanks for your post Mirka because, honestly, I don't think much about independence on the 4th of July anymore.

I've never thought about it before, but I guess I'm like many people--a combination of independent and dependent traits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-85959600008195076132016-07-06T20:08:56.831-07:002016-07-06T20:08:56.831-07:00This is a very thoughtful post.

Diversity was present when the founding fathers set down those first guidelines...but they excluded many from the rights and privileges they reserved for each other...and those like themselves. It's an interesting question...and not surprising this country is still trying to find a way to be all inclusive.

I've been thinking of Brexit and the courage it must have taken to not have to adhere to EU policies that do not mesh with their nation's philosophy.
