Independence Up Y’all

Our American Revolution is forever being fought. It has become our American “Evolution”. Many of the current features are at odds with the original intent. You have to wonder if the intent of the Second Amendment to the Constitution was a blanket justification for every citizen to walk around packing heat? Our current black-robed contingent, on the highest bench in the land, thinks so. Walking around their hood - D.C. - is definitely going to be dicier this summer. And so it goes. In a time of voracious task-usurping technology and existential dislocation, we are reverting to our base primal instincts for a sense of security. The only security we actually have though, in this upside down paradigm, is in our ability to reason. In other words - our independence of thinking, speaking and acting is our bulwark against a regressive future. That is what the Progressive movement stands for in a nutshell. So, if you are one of the many who are now looking forward to believing in the hope for change remember this - you are the change. No savior on a charging steed, or FEMA, is coming to save us. We are on our own. It’s Independence Day 2008. Now go out and act like it.
