The Spirit of Independence is the heart and soul of America. It's an idea that freedom is a natural right and that freedom necessarily leads to happiness and prosperity. As America approaches the typical life expectancy of most civilizations before they face decline, collapse, or restructuring, that spirit of independence has become lost. This is reflected in the actions of many who are laying down for the tyrannical orders of many governors and mayors across the country. The spirit still lives in many, however, and burns as bright and hot as a flame. It is necessary to reclaim and preserve this spirit to ensure that future prosperity is secured.
