I discovered Pandora. I may be late to the game but thanks to my wonderful son I found this amazing technology. For those who are yet to discover Pandora, it is an Internet radio station that allows you to customize the music you want to listen to on any given day or for any given mood.

What’s a person?  It seems like it should be obvious who is a person and who is not.  Show a five year old some pictures: a white baby, an African American woman, a document of incorporation, a couple of magnified cells, a dog - and ask her to identify the people among them.  She’d probably pick the baby and the woman.

But our nation doesn’t have the sense of a five year old. It never has. And today, who/what it deems to be a “person” is “curiouser and curiouser,” as Alice said in Wonderland.

To the man who brought down the most damaging spy in US history, the Fourth of July is about more than cold beer, fireworks and hotdogs - it's also about remembering the reason for the season: our freedom.
