What America is all about



America is about freedom.
The freedom to live anywhere you want. The freedom to religion or not. The freedom to choose your life's path. The freedom to love who you want. The freedom to speak your mind, heart, and soul. The freedom to change your mind. The freedom to disagree. The freedom to say no. The freedom to learn. The freedom to leave. The freedom to be who you are.
For all this country's faults (govenment being the #1 flaw), we are beyond lucky to live here. In far too many other countries things would be as follows.
I would not know how to read or write.
I would be killed for disagreeing with my dad or John.
My mother would be a broken spirit.
My son would be a night walker or at war or working in a sweat shop rather than playing in the morning sun.
My god daughter and neice would be sold for money or labor.
My closest friends and I would be property.
I and D would be dishonered and shunned for being unwed mothers. Infact, in some places we would be killed for it.
My teenage "god daughter" K would be lucky if she was not already raped and inslaved.
We would be hungry. We would be scared. We would be ignored by the world. We would be lost.
Yes. We are the lucky ones, no matter how hard it gets to put food on the table, to drive through traffic, to work a 10 hour day, and pay extream gas prices. For as mundane as that all sounds, we, especially we women, would not have any of that.
I am thankful for being born into and for living in this great country. And the great thing is, because you live here too, you can disagree with that!!!!!!
Happy 4th of July!!!

You are right, CC, we all have so much for which to be thankful. I'm especially thankful for my girlz (u & neesie,) friends to hang out with on the 4th, my adorible son, my gorgeous man, my job, the roof over my head and the food on the table. I had THE BEST 4th! You and your family are so gracious and friendly. We thoroughly felt at home and welcomed. Thank you!! A shout out to B & J (or is it G??) I forwarded a link to the pictures.

After getting more than 10000 visitors/day to my website I thought your cincor.blogspot.com website also need unstoppable flow of traffic...

Use this BRAND NEW software and get all the traffic for your website you will ever need ...

In testing phase it generated 867,981 visitors and $540,340.

Then another $86,299.13 in 90 days to be exact. That's $958.88 a
day!!

And all it took was 10 minutes to set up and run.

But how does it work??

You just configure the system, click the mouse button a few
times, activate the software, copy and paste a few links and
you're done!!

Click the link BELOW as you're about to witness a software that
could be a MAJOR turning point to your success.
