"Independence Day"? How about "Depends Day" instead.

For consideration by the committee: changing the name "Independence Day" to "Depends Day."

To wit, regarding how "free" you actually are: Are you a woman? Gay? Trans? In prison for weed? Poor? Etc.?

Are you a corporation? Rich? Healthy? White? Male?

Are you free?

It depends.
