Independence Day...

These days...the beauty of independence...takes on a new idea for me. Independence is defined as meaning freedom from subjection to the influence or control of others. What I now understand..... is that being free to express oneself physically, mentally, and emotionally,( in a postive way of course) is crucial to the growth of the mind, body and soul. Oppression of others...wheather it be people or animals through uses of force may work for a momment...but it is not lasting, and further more you may not like the reactions of that oppressed individual once they have been released...lol! So..to make a long story short...I ...for one...salute the ideology of freedom!
