And a Happy 4th to all!

@cleeds +1, you beat me to it. 

re·pub·lic

/rəˈpəblik/

noun

1. a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

In other words, a form of democracy.

All the best,

No comment this year other than everyone always count your blessings.   Be kind to others.  Basking in cruelty has never been the  American way and still isn’t. 

Billpete, I noticed on another discussion you mentioned you are 68 years old. Meaning you got married at 18. That's dedication! Congratulations.

Yes, happy 4th to all. Special day for my wife and me, we'll be married 50 years as of tomorrow. Have a great day everyone and don't blow yourself up. :)

BTW, we are a Republic.

Strictly speaking, we're a democratic constitutional republic.

Happy Fourth to all! To our Canadian friends: a slightly belated Happy Canada Day!

Happy birthday USA!

BTW, we are a Republic.

Happy Independence Day to you all!

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Agoners! I am thankful for this country and yes even the fact that we don’t have a king.  Enjoy family and friends this weekend. 

I never like to make long range predictions, but hopefully tomorrow will be another wonderful day in paradise.  Let us give thanks to the Chinese manufacturers who make our brilliant pyrotechnic displays possible. 

 Thank you @yogiboy.

Happy Independence Day to you also, and to all here on Audiogon.

I am happy to live here, happy to be here, and thankful to all who have made this country possible.
