Resistance and patriotism

Strike Anywhere: Timebomb Generation

Lest we forget, amidst all of the waving flags, scintillating fireworks, and long parades, that the 4th of July is the celebration of of resistance to colonial rule, I hope we can all spend today remembering the spirit of resistance that once provided a model for revolutions around the world. Enjoy your backyard barbeque, but also be thinking out what being an American used to mean: having a duty to resist, question, rebel, and distance oneself from a government that has become unjust and unresponsive to its constituents.
