July 4th, is just about upon us. This is one of my favorite holidays. Not because of back yard barbeques or family get togethers but because it reminds me of a time when great men came together and formed a nation. Imagine the egos that must have sat in Philadelphia 232 years ago. When was the last time you were in a meeting full of egos debating an issue that fails in comparison to independence from Great Britain. Will we ever experience such diplomacy and wisdom again? I can only hope.
I just finished watching the HBO mini-series John Adams an adaptation of David McCullough’s book of the same title. I highly recommend renting or purchasing it, if you have any interest in this subject at all. The casting is superb. The struggle for independence in 1776 is covered in only one episode but the entire story is fascinating. I would also recommend reading the book John Adams and any other book for that matter written by David McCullough. You will not regret it. He is by far my favorite author.
