Depressing du Jour

Independence Day

July 4th seems good enough time as any to remind ourselves that we were founded by a group of men who were not satisfied with how things were, who demanded and fought for change and as progressive a society as possible. Ironically, the group of people today who claim to be the most patriotic simply because they want things to never change and lead the league in empty, bellicose rhetoric re: "America is AWESOME!!" would've been on the side of leaving things as they are in 1776, with charges of "traitor!!" being thrown about as they are today.
