…when remembering that today, the 4th of July, marks the anniversary of a stunning change in history. Hear these words:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Original “Navy Jack” flag.
Words to consider… words to live by… and a standard under which to face the enemies of freedom be they where they may.

In the event…
During a recent commercial flight, I was perusing the safety briefing card and noted this icon:
Water landing on the safety briefing card.
I don’t know. I think they need some more words on these cards. You see the graphic of the airplane pointing toward the water. Then there’s the red arrows indicating how to exit the plane onto the yellow rafts. But, who knows what all these things are? Could be slip and slides for the party crowd. Of course, the graphics are supposed to avoid the need for multiple translations. Either way, words might soon be a thing of the past and we’ll all write in little pictures like children. Some places do this already.
