On this 4th day of July we must honor the memory of our revolutionary forefathers by reveling in our hard won freedoms.
The freedom to launch explosives in the air during the peak of wildfire season because it looks fucking cool.
The freedom to lay out in the sun until you look as leathery as the migrant worker who picked the berries floating in your sangria.
The freedom to hate those god damned illegal immigrants, unless they help your baseball team win.
The freedom to murder an animal; grind up it's shittiest parts and shove it into a tube to feed your friends and family.
The freedom to know Bill Pullmans speech in Independence Day better than you know the Declaration of Independence.It's pretty hard to care about wire-tapping, drone strikes and the government eroding the rights we fought for centuries ago when you got an ice cold beer in your hand.
4th of July isn't all about fireworks, hotdogs and beer... it's also about forgetting that the NSA is tapping your phone, that migrant workers who picked the fruit in your sangria, and that the Declaration of Independence wasn't written by Bill Pullman. [source]
Happy Birthday America!
