HHH today Anyone who gives up their professional career to fight for justice or whatever they want to stand for is ok my book.... regardless if I agree with him or her. People tend to be short sighted and either agree/like or disagree/dislike someone because it doesn’t fit their beliefs. It’s why we are divided more than ever. Sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellion is part of what made America what it is today. What led to the 4th of July was all about rebelling against an unwanted government. Celebrating the 4th while hating on people who stand up for what they believe in is an interesting dichotomy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing your point. I think I stand up for what I believe in. I stand with Betsy Ross, an abolitionist Quaker. And I stand against Nike which is purely trying to read a marketing opportunity, as wrong-headed as it may be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Didn’t mean to start a Kaep argument. Was more in reference to the Betsy Ross flag being posted and the Nike shoe issue...lol Anyway, lots of high clouds here today are putting a bit of a cap on potential max temps. Almost a complete, but thin, overcast now and 83.4°. Sorta halfway between a halo and sun dimly visible look. Lots more clouds upstream too.

Yeah you do and you have every right to do it. And every other citizen has a right to do that whether you agree with them or not. I’m not sure how Nike entered this discussion, ya. I stand for the flag but I am fully supportive of others if they don’t. If someone wants to do a handstand instead, that’s there right. Anyway, this is what the 4th feels like. Hot and humid. And we are lucky to live in such a good society where we have enough free time to argue about stuff on a weather forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BombsAway1288 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Finally installed yesterday. Couldn't take the warm urban nights anymore. Woke up Wednesday in a complete sweat. Wish I was 20 miles outside the city instead of the harbor coast. At least it still gets into the low 60's/upper 50's inland at night to cool off a bit.

We're not where we need to be but damn it if we're not a little closer today. And that is what the 4th means to me lol 89/72 here. Sultry. Beautifully said. It's worth remembering what Ben Franklin said, that "politics is the art of the possible." Many of the northern delegates to the Continental Congresses found slavery revolting, but couldn't have brought the southern states into the revolution if they made emancipation a part of the deal. They needed unanimity to take on the greatest military power in history. Even some southerners recognized the basic hypocrisy of retaining that institution in the new republic. And the system of government they devised, codifying expressly for the first time in written form the rights of the people, was built intentionally to be difficult (but not impossible) to amend so as to prevent the creep of tyrannical power and radicalism. Is our country perfect? Certainly not. Nor is any country or system of government because men are not perfect. But ours is probably the best guarantor of individual liberty we've devised so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 83/63F Thin cirrus and haze. My house was built in 1795. George Washington was president. My VP2 and Betsy Ross flag stand proudly over this house as they have for many years. Things were different back then but proud to be an American and fly any flag I want. The 15 star flag became the official flag on May 1 1795 as Vermont and I believe Kentucky entered the union 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
