The 4th of July feels like a sad holiday to me. We celebrate an independence won over two centuries ago, like an out of shape former athlete reminiscing about his glory days on the high school football team.
What we need independence from today isn’t the British — who seem about as threatening as a glass of warm Ovaltine — but from modern tyrannies like big business and, of course, the national security state.
Do we have to wish them good luck?
No, and let’s ship them to the great pacific garbage patch.
Now, now…
There’s always room to be gracious and polite when you’re forcibly relocating an entire population.
