Happy July 4th

MV5BMTM5MDY5MDQyOV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzM3NzMxMDE@._V1_SY1000_CR22,0,630,1000_AL_[1]This year is my 15th July 4th, as a Brit’ abroad, I take my annual message to the occupiers of the former British Coloney, now known as America, seriously. This July 4th, as you ponder the growing inequality, and the gap between the rich and poor, consider this quote:

this summer when you’re being inundated with all this bi-centennial, fourth of July, broo-ha-ha just remember what you’re celebrating- that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning aristocratic white males didn’t want to pay their taxes

from the teachers speech in the Linklater classic, Austin TX based film, Dazed and Confused. The film is set in 1976. Somethings never change.
