228

It seems only appropriate that on this day I make some sort of comment about the United States. Two-hundred-and-twenty-eight years ago today a small band of idealists and dreamers started something that, after it was all said and done, made the world a better place. It cost a lot of lives, blood and hardship. A lot of lessons were learnt the hard way. Two-hundred-and-twenty-eight years later most of those lessons seem to have been forgotten.

Pity.
