Ariadne Posted July 4, 2003 I didn't write this, but I sure wish I did The 4th of July... It is a rather obvious holiday, here in the land of Freedom Fries. It is a time when politicians pretend to honor freedom and liberty, while they craft their reelection campaigns and spy on their constituents. It is a time for fervent racism and xenophobia to parade around as patriotism. It is a time for the "got mines" to whine about how every penny of their inherited wealth is special and shouldn't be taxed. It is, of course, a time for trotting out half-truths, and histories written by the victors. It is time when the spirits of our founding fathers to look down upon us and weep. But hey! We get fireworks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
