We all appreciate having the day off work & having a summer day to relax, with fireworks, picnics, swimming, barbeques or whatever. I for one plan to be doing the same thing with my family today – woo hoo!! I just wondered how many Americans have even thought, even if it was only a passing thought, that the 4th of July is the day we celebrate the day of our nation’s independence from England. All the freedoms we have today are a direct result of the foundations that our forefathers put in place when they declared independence & wrote the Constitution. I was at the grocery store yesterday & they were playing a song on the loud speaker. It was the Marine Corps song (forgot the name). As my father & nephew were Marines, I commented to a man nearby that I liked that song. He said “I just see tomorrow as a day off work”. It made me wonder how many of us even think about why we celebrate the 4th. For me, it’s a quick thought, but it would be truly sad if we never thought about it all.
To Marvin R, I just wanted to say that I agree with you. I hope you didn’t misunderstand my question though. I have 2 nephews who are police officers & 1 of those nephews was a Marine in Desert Storm. My father was also a Marine during WWII & my brother was in the Army during the VietNam War. I have a deep appreciation for all of those people who fight to protect our freedoms and risk their lives to do so. They are the underappreciated & in many cases, the unappreciated. Yet they deserve the greatest praise for their service to their country. I only meant that were it not for our forefathers’ actions in the first place, we would not have the laws in place which help protect our freedoms that the individuals you mention so sacrificially protect for us. They all deserve recognition and respect. I was just so saddened at the comment that the man in the store made because he was so complacent. It broke my heart. I agree with your comment though. Thanks for the reminder.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic
hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting

of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor the aluminum can had been invented yet, so while our early ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is now known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQs and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.

Most social workers, personal injury lawyers, journalists, dreamers in
Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the
designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get something for nothing.

Here ends today’s lesson in world history.

What are your opinions of Marine Conservationists?

Marine conservation, also known as marine resources conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas. Marine conservation focuses on limiting human-caused damage to marine ecosystems, and on restoring damaged marine ecosystems. Marine conservation also focuses on preserving vulnerable marine species.
