Orb Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 As much as I recognize many systemic issues with the country I live in (USA). I'm appreciating all the people who died fighting for independence from British rule and making a name for themselves!! It blows my mind that real people with families and individual interests decided to risk it all by fighting the British. Can you imagine being ruled by a powerful kingdom and then banding together with your friends and fighting back?! I'd shit my pants. Thanks to all those brave fellows. 🙏 Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.

Oh wow, and the whole "war on terror" stuff was so senseless in my opinion 😞 Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.

That's fine. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.
