3. I am not flying the flag.

I wish I had a New York one. I would fly that.

I am wearing all black tomorrow though. I am in mourning for the country that even though it never achieved all it's ideals, at least made some effort to reach them. Now our government and a good portion of our populace aren't even pretending to care about liberty and justice for all.

Unless those values are resuscitated, i won't be celebrating the country's birthday again, but grieving it's loss.
