These Things I Believe

Happy Forth of July! I thought I might put a little twist on the traditional Forth of July stuff and post a few things that I believe in and hold close to me. Why? Because 231 years ago a group of people got together and made sure that people like me could say what they wanted to without fear of repercussions. That's why! Because I can!
