I hope that everyone had a great 4th! I had great time hanging out with the family and watching baseball and fireworks. It is nice to know I was able to yell and taunt the players of the opposing team without fear of being punished. This is why USA is great. We can voice our opinion and disagree with the government and other people and nothing would happen to us.
My fear is that the US is slowly starting to be completely run by the government. Always putting regulations on everything, trying to restrict something so we do not have to make our own choice anymore. For example NY, NY is trying to pass a law where fast food places only sell 12oz sized drinks only any bigger is just too much sugar that you get from the soda. Really! Are we that dumb as humans that we have to have the govt tell us that we can't have a big drink because of sugar from the soda and they want to control people's health. Soda is not the issue. It is people's free will and what they want to put in their own mouth. This leads to the question, WHAT IS NEXT? What is the next law we let pass telling us how we should run our life. By the time people want change it will be too late and in too deep.
Everyone should read the book 1984 by George Orwell. Great writer. This book talks about a society controlled by the government. You will see some similarities from what you read and what is going on in our society today. It is some scary stuff. Let's not let it get to that point; let's do something now.
