INDEPENDENCE DAY?

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
(I'm feeling cynical) Fire up you Bar B Q's my fellow Americans! Ice up those beers! And get ready to gape and agog at those pretty mid-air EXPLOSIONS! Woo Hoo! Pretty colors! LOUD BANGS! OMG! 4TH OF JULY 1776, This new nation, these yoonited states topple the rule of British Impreialism! How better to comemerate that than to slap some steaks on an open grill? Fire it up! Let's fast forward to the present shall we? So. Here we are. 2008. Gas prices climbing, owwww. Sustainable war in Iraq drags on, ka-ching! to the wealthy war profiteers whose money is drenched in the blood of young men and women who may actually believe that they're defending these continental US. Political campaign that is a joke. You keep telling yourself that your one vote matters, ha! The puppet masters will put McCain in the White House regardless, since he will further their not so secret agenda, which is basically: pocket more wealth, and fuck you to the middle class, lower class, whom they view as expendable.
John Mayer sings, "Waiting on the world to change" and that irks me. Since waiting is so passive. It's just as disdainful as Paul McCartney saying that Mother Mary came to him and said, Let It Be. Hey GREG, lighten up babe, it's a holiday, here man, drink a beer, down a few shots of tequila, get laid or something, dude you have a Negative Nelly attitude. You need to get happy...SHADDUP!I am like Charlie Brown on Christmas, I'm not feeling the spirit. The irony is that this very day, the fourth of July is supposed to be celebrating the American Spirit of REVOLUTION (change). People with SPINES back in the 1700s decided that they had had ENOUGH and started KICKNG ASS AND TAKING NAMES.When will WE THE PEOPLE, do that? Or is it WE THE SHEEPLE, BEING GOOD LITTLE LAMBS WAITING FOR OUR VERY OWN SLAUGHTER?...
