Thank you to a great country with wonderful Americans who took me in.
A country in which people I think highly of share these common traits, as Thomas L. Friedman explained in his recent opinion essay:
“Respect science, respect nature, respect each other.”

Happy 4th of July! Both, T.L. Friedman’s and C O’Reilly’s words should be engraved in everyone’s heart and soul…..

Happy Independence day from another Canadian/American. so glad to be a citizen and proud to “know” you” — Bests! MJ
Awww, my sentiments exactly. Thanks MJ.
Thomas Friedman is one of my favorite writers/columnists, and this essay further solidifies that opinion. The bumper sticker could be even shorter: RESPECT…
Happy 4th!
With you Jim. Happy 4th!
Not a native New Yorker? I missed that. Where are you from and how long have you been here. I know you’ve been here a long time, or so i think. Happy 4th to you!

Thank you.for the link to that brilliant essay.
That should be Biden’s catch phrase…
Agree!
Thanks for linking to that page. I had not seen that article and I truly believe that respecting science, nature and each other is pretty simple thing to do. When doing so, one is enlightened, hopeful and becomes a better person!
Agree Margie. The essay was enlightening and inspiring for what can and should be.
A belated Happy July 4th
Thank you Scott
