Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
And let freedom ring from the streets of Cairo!

Going forward, will it impact the flow of oil out of the Middle East as some fear? Oil that we are still sadly addicted to? That remains to be seen. Will we learn before it's too late and create an energy plan beyond Keep Oil Cheap?
These are important issues, but today is a day to celebrate and honor the people of Egypt who made this happen.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." -Declaration of Independence
