Grateful Day Five

I am grateful for the country I grew up and the country I now call home. The two are both democracies of differing systems. However, at their core, legislatively and culturally, both are built on the idea that each person is created equal and entitled to express themselves however they might choose as long as it does not infringe or hinder  on someone else's freedom of expression or jeopardise the safety or well being of someone else or a group of people. I am grateful for these countries and what they represent and offer.
