From Sea to Shining Sea
First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July. I was contemplating this amazing holiday yesterday and I can't help but feel somewhat sad. I was thinking about how many businesses stay open hoping to capitalize on a few extra bucks during this day. In fact, so many businesses have decided to stay open, that, it doesn't even seem so much like a holiday anymore. Why is it, that the desire to make money overshadows the desire to pay homage to one of the greatest blessings we've been given--that of a free country that allows us the opportunity to be successful in our ventures. It seems only appropriate to close up shop for one day to pay respect to the country that has given so much. Has the 4th of July become nothing more than a free day for the corporate world and what does this mean for the future of all holidays?
