congress. because, that is where everything happens that affects "we", the American People - I consider the POS just a distraction... the most deplorable among us, who happen to be in power, are putting the screws to...

Enjoy your Independence Day - I always get nostalgic thinking about sitting on the edge of the Charles River, listening to the Boston Pops at the Hatch Shell watching fireworks....

If you are in Boston or New England for that matter, just go to Boston for the fourth, if you have never been...you won't regret it!!! -
