Please feel free to use any screen name, but I would appreciate it if you didn't stay anonymous for too long - it makes it so hard to keep track of who is pissed at me... ;)<BR/><BR/>You see, the problem is, independence is a myth. Every nation, every person, is inextricably intertwined with every other. We are not independent in any way - without the other people on this planet, we wouldn't be here. When one acts in a greedy, irresponsible way, all on the panet are lessened, all suffer in some way. No amount of flag waving and roman candles will ever change that. <BR/><BR/>Patriotism is just another way of creating illusory dividers separating ourselves from the rest of the world. It compartmentalizes the world population and gives us names to hang on them, like "Afghani" or "Iraqi" instead of thinking of them as "people." It's just "Us vs. Them" dressed up and put on parade. I like to think that some day we won't need it, and we can focus on working as a planet.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong - I like booze and grilling as much as the next guy. I'd just prefer it if our standard of living wasn't predicated on other (mostly brown) people being so poor. If one of us is oppressed, then none of us is truly free.Linushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917331849034683598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-1152250673395818452006-07-06T23:37:00.000-06:002006-07-06T23:37:00.000-06:00Now now, dear rev, I think you are reading the hol...Now now, dear rev, I think you are reading the holiday wrong. It is a celebration of independence, not an exercise in monolithic, corrupt power schemes nor an way to seperate ourselves from the rest of the world. Patrotism can be many things. Every 4th, it's good to be free enough to express that freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-1152215647881193962006-07-06T13:54:00.000-06:002006-07-06T13:54:00.000-06:00Born Again Flocker - glad to hear from you!
