At Rest

What better way to enjoy a holiday than to have a 'real' holiday follow? Especially when the hoiday is Indepencence Day which causes us to take our country to a sort of collective examination of conscience. It also marks the passage of the first half of the year. We blow the dust off of our resolutions and check with navigation to assure ourselves that we can bring our ship of self to safe harbor by year end. The matters of self, I leave to each of you individually. For our country, may I suggest one of Alistair Cookes last legacies to our country which he loved so much but which was not his. This survey done by the Beeb is by it's own admission far from definitive. Reading these comments, however, should give us pause. A happy fifth to all and may we return to work tomorrow refreshed and enlightened! BBC NEWS | Programmes | wtwta | What do you think of America?
