My Fellow Americans,

It's a rotten time in this nation's history, both politically and economically. We have no idea if we'll ever recover. But here's the thing--"recover" means to regain a former better condition--hence the "re-" prefix. Let's not do that. Let's work toward a future better condition. We'll get there. We always do, in the end.

I wish for you all a happy, and healthy, day of celebration.

For those taking your laptops or iPads or the like to the beach, I have some suggestions for light beach reading - so light, there are summaries if you don't want to read the whole thing. Heck, they even have pictures!

The Declaration of Independence

The Constitution of the United States

The Bill of Rights

Amendments 11-27
