I just sat here and watched thousands of people across the U.S. enjoying awesome fireworks as they celebrate their Independence Day and I must say, I've never wished I was an American more than I did tonight as I watched that display. So Happy Independence Day to my American neighbours and God Bless All Of You.

Thank you Maureen. I was born an American nearly 64 years ago, and am still learning to appreciate it. And trying to keep it so, so others can learn and enjoy it also.
I have traveled somewhat in Canada and love the people. The governing folk, I do sometimes dispair of.

Funny that--many of us up here say the same thing about the United States. Belated Happy 4th (my computer is accursed) Dawne
I love the U.S. and I love Canada, however, much to my chagrin I feel the same way about both the U.S. government and the Canadian government.

Don`t worry - we feel that way about all of them (including ours)! Heaven alone knows who voted for them! LOL!

Well folks I KNOW it wasn't me - I can hardly recall ANYTHING that I felt was important and voted on ever coming out the way I wanted - LOL!! MelissaD
Funny that--a government is voted in, often by a considerable majority, and then a few months later those "in the street" journalist types cannot find a single person who will admit to voting for them. Dawne
Too true, however in my case I really didn't vote for either of them. Of course if I had tried to vote in Canada I suspect I would wind up either in jail or in an asylum.

Hee-hee-hee! No comment (smiling sweetly).

Probably more like an evil grin 0:-)

Gee, do we have prisons in Canada? (tongue in cheek). You'd never know it by the number of criminals on the streets! LOL.
