Today we here in the US of A celebrate the Fourth Day in July as a way of remembering our break away from a tyrannical oppressor, or to get a great price on a rack of ribs and a great deal on a new grill to cook them with. (Burnt Offerings to appease the gods...)

But really, today might also be a good time to reflect on our interconnections, our intertwinings, our symbiosis with the other, each to another.

So today, it's the 4th of July, 2015. Interdependence Day.

Read the document we are celebrating- it is pretty damn scary!!! ESPECIALLY when you read the grievances listed by the colonists that caused them to break ties with mad king George...

... and regarding tyrannical Government;
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their RIGHT, it is their DUTY, to THROW OFF such government and PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURITY."

... my, my, my but we have wandered off the track
