more on this later...maybe...but here's a good article.

Yankee Doodle Daddy - One Man's Plan for Raising Patriotic Kids

I'm sick of people crapping on America and forgetting the opportunities here - so it was great to find this article on msn.

(okay...before anyone points out my Border's issue, I love the U.S., but I don't endorse misplaced values, like having stores open really, really late. That doesn't make my love of country diminish, or lessen my overwhelming gratitude for having the grace of God to have been born here.)

(Although, part of what makes America great is the opportunity for chasing your dream...so, stores staying open late could fall under the heading of being able to pursue your dream of fueling the fires of consumerism late into the night...but...it still rubs me the wrong way. I'm not advocating for a store closing curfew, just lamenting where some priorities lie.)
