America's 250th anniversary #July4th #fireworks through stormy clouds were the clearest expression of what #StormyDaniels must have felt — so limp, so lacking in energy and crescendo — and none of it was her fault.

CW: sexual assault, uspol, trump
"A former beauty queen who has alleged Jeffrey Epstein attempted to groom her at an event where she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump claims the president “threatened” her afterward, warning: “Bad things can happen to you if you speak out.” The former Miss Switzerland and Miss Europe contestant Beatrice Keul, 55, says she has since faced repeated threats to her safety"

On July 4, 1976, I was almost 7. My family lived in Janesville, Wisconsin then. I remember having a picnic on the banks of the Rock River and watching fireworks. I remember thinking that it was amazing to be alive then, and I remember wondering about the next 100 years.
I figured it wasn't super-likely that I'd be around in 2076, but I did think I'd see 2026. Given that I was starting to get an interest in space and rockets and being an astronaut, I distinctly remember thinking that by 2026, the world would be awesome - moon bases, space stations (Skylab mark 40 or something). I am sure I was barely aware of war, poverty, disease, the environment if at all, but I am sure I just thought people would figure it out and learn to get along.
I wonder if there are 7-year-olds out there today who have the kind of optimism about the world that I did then. I hope they actually get to see their dreams manifested.
And I hope they can find it in their hearts to forgive us for making it so difficult for them.

So, let's talk about 1976. At the time, I was in a "special needs" program at a school way bigger than the 2 room village schoolhouse I had been attending. The teachers at the new school encouraged all the students to write essays about the #AmericanRevolution -- the prize being a trip to Philadelphia to participate in the #Bicentennial. I managed to win the contest with a very graphic essay about #GeorgeWashington's troops in #ValleyForge (mentioning the possibility of #cannibalism -- one of my obsessions at the time, along with Zombies). Anyhow, in order to participate in the parade, we had to dress in period clothes. I *insisted* on having a boy-man's uniform (which I made in a very public interview with the local press), and I got my way! And marched with the boys/men, with the fife and drum squad and flag bearers (I played the flute). Unfortunately, I was there by myself, with no family to take photos of me. But here's a photo of the group I was part of. And bonus... I got to spend the night at Valley Forge, telling my tales of Revolutionary cannibalism!

“#America’s inner contradiction was the #altruist-#collectivist #ethics. #Altruism is incompatible with #freedom, with #capitalism and with #IndividualRights. One cannot combine the pursuit of #happiness with the #moral status of a sacrificial animal.”
— “Man’s #Rights” by #AynRand
