Today I will be celebrating friendships at the Fourth of July party I'll be attending. Unlike the vast majority of people, however, I will not be celebrating the decision to shed one criminal enterprise for the formation of another, nor will I delude myself into thinking that the United States is in any capacity a free country in terms of libertarian values.
We live in a state that sanctions the theft, assault, and murder of innocent citizens on a daily basis. That, my friends, is nothing to raise a glass to.
Cheers to you my good friend.

I feel the same way. I am glad that its over for another year as I feel like a party pooper, not being able to get into the holiday as I can see the propaganda surrounding it and know most people are buying into a myth. A myth that the revolution made us freer, when taxes were actually higher almost as soon as King George relinquished his power.
