It's Time for Independence Day
Independence Day is a celebration of many nations throughout the world, remembering when they were freed from being the colony or possession of another nation. In the United States, Independence Day is on the Fourth of July -- the anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence.
Intriguingly, many people do not know why we celebrate Independence Day, content to simply have the day off from work (if they're a federal employee -- many, many people don't get the day off) and picnic with their family. But the spirit and meaning behind Independence Day cannot get lost in the array of Fourth of July fireworks.
We must, as a people, maintain our independence. This is not an issue of being a possession of Britain anymore -- this is a matter of being in possession of our own thoughts, our own beliefs, our own way of living.
"But we have all that!" some people exclaim. "The United States is the freest nation of the world!"
Are We as Free as We Think?
No nation is free when it is filled with people who do not think for themselves, ask questions, and speak up even when -- and especially when -- they are made fun of for doing so.
Are we as independent as we think? Do we have the freedom to think, and say, things that are not popular in the mass media, and promulgated on the movies and in the newspapers? What about taxation, fees, and mandatory contributions -- the War of Independence was theoretically fought because the colonists resisted taxation without representation. But how much representation do ordinary people have within the halls of Congress? Do we feel as if our representatives listen to us and craft laws accordingly, or is there even a suspicion that companies and businesses with an interest in making money have more influence over our Congressmen than we do?
These are questions we should all be asking, and there are many more because questioning, once started, demands answers.
Cadence is a visual representation of the attitude of independence -- it shows a strong woman, walking free, unencumbered by the strictures, mores, rules, and regulations of bureaucracy and politically correct thought.
Cadence is available as a home decor wall art print in many forms (framed, canvas, metal, acrylic, wood, poster) at this link. Cadence is also available as an image on products, like the coffee mug, phone case, travel tote bag, home decor throw pillow, t-shirt, round beach towel, and greeting card shown below (the images are clickable) at Steve Henderson Collections.
