“Real patriots ask questions” — Carl Sagan
“The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies” — Thomas Jefferson
“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” — Benjamin Franklin
“Be true to yourself and you cannot be a traitor to any good cause on Earth” — Eugene Debs
“[D]issent is the highest form of patriotism” — Howard Zinn
In other words, happy Independence Day. (According to Richard Shenkman, citing some scholarly literature in his book Legends, Lies and Cherished Myths of American History [1988], the actual date in which we declared independence from the British Crown was the Second of July, not the Fourth.)
P.S.: I have just returned from finally seeing (after two long weeks) Batman Begins, which I say was excellent. My review of it will have to wait until ... I return from vacation at Bethany for the weekend. Until then, goodbye.
