Every year on this day I hope that America can live up to the promise of it's mythology because as they fall so fall us all. To paraphrase Jor El, "They are a great people, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show them the way."
Showing some people the light only blinds them further. I'm sadly doubtful that the ignorance and arrogance that seems to possess a lot of the people in this country can be overcome. They are too greedy, and they are supported by the ignorant.
We Canadians don't like their foreign policy either. At least we are getting out of Afghanistan when we said we would. It's not the fault of the people but the monied interestes which have taken over their democracy.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Americans are O.K., but we mexicans don't like a bit their foreign politics.
I love the 4th. The air smells like barbeque and there are fireworks. What more could you want in a national holiday.
I hope so too.

Why do I hear Leonard Cohen singing "Democracy"?
