Independent

As July 4th approaches, let's have a little lesson.

Independent is defined as (actually a lot of things!):

1. free from outside control; not depending on another's authority; self-governing; not belonging to or supported by a political party; not supported by public funds.

2. not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.

3. capable of thinking or acting for oneself; not influenced or affected by others; impartial.

4. not connected with another or with each other; separate; not depending on something else for strength or effectiveness; freestanding.

Happy Independence Month ... let's get this going on.
