i love these strips and read them when i need a little advise in the morning. this one reminds me that there is a way to be less affected by the malintentioned in the world and that is to be independent of their influences or control: one way of doing that is to be sufficiently strong that their barbs are as gnat’s bites to an elephant. martin
On this day in 1776, 245 years ago, 13 British colonies decided to become their own and come together. Their ideas of “democracy” shocked and most assumed that they would be crushed by the tyranny that was Great Britain. Of course, that did not happen, and the ideas of democracy hang strong not just in the U.S., but almost everywhere else on Earth. Ya hear THAT, Lucy!!!
@TheSpanishInquisition; Igotnews for you. Yes, there are Muslims who hate Americans. And there are also xxx’s who hate yyy’s (fill in xxx and yyy with the race / religion / nationality / etc. of your choice). But these are the exceptions.
Unfortunately, Linus, Independence Day (July 4th) is the states/colonies independence from England. You’re still under the control of that fussbudget sister of yours (unless you’re willing to declare your independence and willing to “go to war” against her for your independence).

And Humphrey Bogart never said the line “Play it again, Sam” in Casablanca. Mere facts should never be allowed to get in the way of a good quote. : )

As a woman-in-training, Lucy doesn’t like the idea of a man feeling independent one bit!
