Happy Independence Day - 2010

Today we celebrate our declaration of independence from our colonial masters and the beginning of an amazing nation.  The United States of America is a unique conglomeration of peoples from around the world.  Imperfect, to be sure; parochial in ways; but truly, more capable than any other nation in the world.  And maybe that’s what makes the United States such an amazing country: our potential.  We can be the most caring and the most hateful, we can come together and fall apart, but when it is said and done, there is enough potential here to overcome every challenge that faces us.  The question is, are we willing to face those challenges?   Can we achieve our potential?  That is the question for the 5^th of July.  Today, we celebrate all that we have achieved and the potential for future achievements.
