Happy 4th of July.

I am re-reading a book about Vampires and Greece, see Pandora by Anne Rice, and there is a very interesting chapter that talks about freedom. Basically it said that during the reign of Augustus Ceasar governments were run by logic not ideology and the time was peaceful and prosperous (yes, they had slaves so they hadn't gotten that far) but it was not lost on me the trouble that we are in because we have not learned from history.
Happy 4th, let it be a very logical, peacful and prosperous one at that.
