The forth of July
Taking time to celebrate
freedoms we're losing 


If you're one of these people who think freedom is the right to stroll through Wal Mart dressed as Ben Franklin with a BushMaster rifle over slung over your shoulder, you're an idiot.
Real freedom is earning a decent income at a decent job so you can live in a decent neighborhood and send your decent kids to a decent school and not have to worry about some a*****e pumping Jack and Jill's classroom full of rounds because his scientologist employer had a religious objection to including anti psychotic meds on their healthcare plan. Real freedom is not living in a country with the highest incarceration rate in the f*****g world where privately held prisons have an interest in keeping their cells filled to maximum capacity. Real freedom isn't a government being held hostage by a gang of emotional three year olds because they let their party be controlled by village idiots so they could convince people to stupid to know any better to vote against their own interests. Real freedom is listening to experts and not morons with big mouths and microphones. Real freedom is knowing you won't retire to that trash dumpster behind the 7/11 after you have a stroke and can't work 80 hours a week at 8 bucks an hour to pay rent on your single wide anymore. Real freedom is the right not to get fucked over by big government, big business, big insurance, big media, big b***s, the big top or what the f**k ever your big boogie man is. Real freedom is taking a stand for those who can't stand for themselves. Real freedom is a real problem for those at the top and a fading dream for the rest of us.Real freedom can be real scary because sometimes you gotta take a stand beyond paying the light bill. Real freedom means shaking s**t up and pissing people off because real freedom is dangerous to those at the top and they will do anything to keep us in line. Real freedom means a real fight.Happy 4th of July boys and girls. Lets get shitfaced and blow s**t up like are forefathers did.

Author's Note

Baby Ricochet
America really does have the highest incarceration rate in the world. The 'freest' nation in the world with the highest incarceration rate in the world. Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? If that's not an indication of something is seriously wrong with this picture I don't know what is.
