Amber Waves of Grain

Happy 4th of July!  Go ahead, spend the day wearing red, white, and blue, play America's oldest pastime, baseball, under the fireworks with Ray Charles' wonderful adaption of America the Beautiful playing in the background (and be awed and astounded like the boys in Sandlot), and exercise your right of freedom, the basis on which this country was created, by following your own harmony, as stated by this expression of anonymous free speech that I found on the wall of an abandoned parking lot in Springfield, Missouri.
