I hate the fourth of july

I seriously can't stand this useless holiday of dumb...what it is: an excuse to blow shit up and seriously ram flags up one another's asses in the name of false patriotism...want to be a real patriot? go fucking send something to a soldier, talk to a veteran about the horrors of war, run for office, or shit, VOTE.

then again I don't like any holidays...they're fake and dumb and typically wrapped and encircled with posh commercialism...but I would love to BBQ today if the weather holds...
