Ponderings on the Fourth of July

Proud to be an American of Asian descent? Or just proud to be here in the U.S. of A., free, but maybe not debt-free?

California’s giving out IOU’s, what can we give our creditors?

Before you blow off your safe and sane fireworks this week,  or watch a replication of war played out in the night sky, just remember what a great thing revolutions are.

Where would we be without them?

Doing things the old way?

For some that could be a good thing, if you’re on the oppressor side of the equation,  you’re likely wringing your hands in exile somewhere, dreaming of counter-revolution.

For the rest of us though, July 4th commemorates all the good revolution has brought.

Celebrate it rightfully, freely, joyfully.

Emil is still amok...
