Happy Fourth
This post is going to be a short one. Today is a glorious day. It's the day we get to celebrate our fore fathers taking a stand against the tyranny of the British government in the 18th century. Today marks the day that most of the colonies signed the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, to signify the colonies' desire to break free. Today is not only a celebration of our nation's birth. It is also to celebrate liberty. Liberty is what the colonies fought for, and we are forever indebted to their sacrifices. They saw it was worth dying for, and I fear that Americans have lost that spirit. Perhaps this day can spark a fire under their asses. One can only pray. Anyway, Happy Independence Day!
Two Dollar Bills
Today, I was handed 5-$2 USD bills from my brother. I knew exactly where he got them from. His economics teacher is a huge freak about the Toms. He has been for years, and I got to experience this obsession first hand when I was his student back in the 2004-2005 school year when I was a college freshman. The sight of these things gave me an idea. It made me research the bills a little bit more, and I'm convinced that these bills should be more popular. Granted, I'm not going to take on the same obsession that my former economics teacher has, but I still think it's a cause worth working towards.
