The 4th of July feels like a sad holiday to me. We celebrate an independence won over two centuries ago, like an out of shape former athlete reminiscing about his glory days on the high school football team.
What we need independence from today isn’t the British — who seem about as threatening as a glass of warm Ovaltine — but from modern tyrannies like big business and, of course, the national security state.
The 4th Of July is only a “holiday” to blow shit up. It no longer holds any reverence for our most prized assets, Freedom and Independence. Enjoy your day, hope your neighbors with $2000 worth of small explosives don’t burn your house down.
