i took alot of political science classes in college. something i loved, and wished to minor in but i needed to finally graduate and move on, however for this class we were quized on the new york times, so we had to buy one every day. well there was this ad, in the paper, and i loved it, and i have it to frame, (like a million of pictures) but i loved the message...so this being the 4th of july week, i thought i would share it. so enjoy.

READ THIS AD.
OR, DON'T.
An exercise in freedom.
By deciding to continue reading,
you've just demonstrated a key American freedom~choice.
And, should you choose to turn the page, take a nap or go
dye your hair blue, that's cool too.
Because while rights like freedom of speech, freedom of religion
and freedom of the press get all the attention in the
Constitution, the smaller liberties you can enjoy every day in America are
no less important or worthy of celebration.
Your right to backyard barbeques, sleeping in on Sundays and listening
to any darned music you please can be just as fulfilling as your right to vote for the
president. Maybe even more so because you can enjoy these freedoms
personally and often.
So take a moment to celebrate all the liberties you enjoy in America.
Or, forget all this and choose to take them for granted~it's a free country.
FREEDOM. APPRECIATE IT. CHERISH IT. PROTECT IT.

i choose to celebrate drinking my diet coke...something most san diego-ians choose not to participate in. i swear the only beverage you can purchase down there is pepsi.
