I took my dog out earlier tonight. It was a beautiful temperature. Someone was dumping 30 round mags a few blocks over at their back yard range. I stopped the dog from running inside and counted each report as it rolled across the bay and echoed until it faded.

It made me think of freedom. It made me thankful for those who died in battle with someone who was trying with all they had to end their life, or our freedom.

Those people gave their lives and their family suffered something I will never understand for my right to choose religion, marriage, to vote and my shot at the white picked fence.

It's not the 4th of July, it's not Veteran's Day, tomorrow is not Memorial Day. I am thankful just the same. I am pretty jealous of the guy a few blocks away who can have fun doing a mag dump in his back yard at night on his own range complete with flood lights.

I am also eternally thankful to the people who died so that he can do that and so that I can stand in my yard on a warm summer's night and listen to him a few blocks away making the sound of freedom.

I am shocked the police/sheriffs weren't called. How could he get away with exercising his freedom in today's America?

It sounds like you need to become better friends with the neighbor.

That's my kind of neighbor. I like to live by cops and Americans who exercise their rights.

This reminds me of a favorite Reaganism. He observed that a significant difference between Republicans and Democrats is that to a Republican, every day is the 4th of July and to a Democrat, every day is April 15th (fact notwithstanding that the Republicans do not stand up to this measure, at least not now).

What's "shocking" is how FEW Americans hold the same sentiment.

Every day is Independence Day, if you're really independent. You can't worry too much about those that don't understand; they get what they [strike]want[/strike]deserve.

I am good with this. I feel the same way.
