Dependence Day

I've posted my thoughts on our independence as a nation and the state of the American Experiment previously so I'll not repeat it. I will point out that we Matriots prefer the idea of Dependence Day. We are loyal to the planet and all of it's interconnected life forms. We recognize the deadly futility of the competitive delusion of independence and the alienating concepts of individualism that arise from it and we condemn the outdated and dangerous ideas of nationalism that give rise to war.

Doesn't mean we don't enjoy a day off for barbequeing with friends and family though. put down the flag and pick up a beer. Here's to all of us -- together.
