So yesterday was the 4th of July, just about the only holiday that means nothing to the rest of the world. Also the only holiday where the chosen activity is to blow shit up. So truly American.
As someone who has served in the military (Scouts Out!) I can tell you that I've thought quite a lot about what it means to be an American, and the sacrifice some are willing make for the rest of us, and I don't buy about 90% of the rhetoric. And if you think I'm full of it, go read the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, then consider the following questions:
What is "Freedom?"
What is "Justice?"
What is "the American Way?"
Who gets to decide what "Life" is and who picked them?
Is there a difference between "Freedom" and "Liberty" for you?
Who's happiness? Or is it not happiness, but the pursuit? See the difference?
