An unbeatable mix
I’d like to thank the Rocky Mountain News for its wonderful Fourth of July cover. It’s pretty hard to beat the mix of patriotic veterans, politicians out on the stump, fireworks and great eats for the celebration of our country’s 231st birthday.
Next year, the Rocky could add the portion of Scripture molded into the Liberty Bell: “ ... proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof ... ,” still the heartfelt desire of people everywhere.

Why burden a good cover with scripture?

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door"
Although, I guess this is no longer a "heartfelt desire" of most Americans any longer, alas if it ever really was...
