Happy Independence Day

What's that? Another holiday so soon after Consensual Spanking Day?

Yes, for those of us in the United States, it's Independence Day. This is a holiday to commemorate the founding of our republic. It's also a fine day for a parade, a picnic, and a fireworks show.

On this Independence Day, we celebrate freedom of many sorts. Freedom of speech, religion, press, and association are all pillars of our democracy. We also salute the many contributions and sacrifices of citizens who established and protected these freedoms.

But there are other, more individual freedoms that we spankos can recognize. It's great, for example, to be free from inhibitions that might otherwise prevent us from enjoying this favorite pastime. We can also celebrate freedom from the belief that in order to be equal, women must always be strong. I am particularly proud to be free to explore my sexuality at home with Randy and, in a somewhat different fashion, here on this blog.

It's an exquisite irony that I should use my precious freedom to choose to be submissive. But having the ability to choose makes the choice itself all the more meaningful.

Happy July 4th!
