This is from a man from my 29 years ago past. A brilliant teacher to me in my Tech School back during 1980. He saw potential in me I suppose, and for that I am eternally grateful. We’ve kept in touch, and he sent me this.

Q – What does the forth of July really mean?

A – It’s the day America Signed and Issued its Declaration of Independence!

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783),

also known as the American War of Independence.

Up through 1776, Brittan had Absolute Control of the Colonies – Tyranny

(Tyranny defined:  oppression, dictatorship, autocracy, domination, totalitarianism, cruelty, repression, suppression, control)

(Antonym of Tyranny:  Democracy)

THE DATES

(and why the 4th of July is Important to Americans!)

1765 – The Stamp Act – Taxes

1767 – The Revenue Act – Taxes

1770 – The Tea Party – Taxes

1775 – Brittan dispatched armies to seize weapons – Gun Control

    Damn, no wonder I had a feelin’ of deja vu…..yet this time I’m filled with ‘tude..I’ve had it…and making damn sure I can make life hell or short for anyone seeking to abridge my Constitutional divine rights as a human being. To go where I choose, associate with whom I choose, earn a living, worship as I choose, take a mate, young ‘uns and my guns. Lots of guns, they can be passed around to like minded friends in a crisis. My enemy can go find their own……..

    I hear your anger. I hear it in my heart. It’s way beyond amusing, and the rage of the Founders boils up within me.
