Damn
~E~
America had a birthday and I didn't even get cake.
Seriously, I used to appreciate Independence Day for what it was, the celebration of our country's birth. Now though this is NOT a country I feel at all proud of, so no celebration.
I was probably living in a fog of ignorance and I realize now the US pretty much consistently does things that would shame any normal person, but the last seven years have been chaos times 50. The president is an inarticulate pampered 60 year old boy who regularly breaks the law and defies the constitution. Neither the democrats nor the republicans see fit to pursue legal recourse.
We as a country have murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers from both sides of the 'conflict' we are engaged in.
Americans are mostly ignorant of the whole thing because journalism has ceased to exist in America.
None of us learned anything from the energy crisis of the early 1970s so guess what - here we are again.
I want cake. And I want my country back.

I do love fireworks displays though.
