Is this Independance day?

So, the out vote won and apparently the world is about to end. Let's hope that before too long everyone will stop bickering and blaming each other for everything.
We received some really very, very sad news today and by God does it put this all into perpective. Life is short, live it to the full, try to find the positive in every situation and cherish the ones you love, you never know what is round the corner.
