The official beginning of summer and a three day weekend, the fourth means my dog is a little skittish and the celebration is for something good for a change.
The fourth of July celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and one of the most famous sentences ever written.

4th of July. Fireworks. Hotdogs, parades, veterans, flags, songs, parties, illusions, delusions.
Go ahead and party Americans. You are the king of the world, the purveyors of righteousness and democracy. The "exceptional nation" gets to throw down it's hair and tell the world, "look at us! we're free! and you're NOT!!"

I listen to him ever so often on WPFW 88.3 in the DC area. Chris Hedges who teaches in prisons and is intimately familiar with incarcerated Afro-Americans fates and plights, visited him on Saturday and had this to report. Mumia Abul-Jamal:
The Declaration of Political Independence

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the citizen long guaranteed by our Constitution, a decent respect to the opinions of humankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to that separation.
