I like fireworks

In fact, the 4th of July has always been my favorite holiday--better than Christmas, better than Easter, better than my stupid birthday. Picnics! Fireworks! Hangin' out! Celebratin' all those ideals we learned in our 1970's childhoods about how We Can Work to Make Our Country Live Up to Its Promise! Equality for everyone! Free speech! The huddled masses, yearning to breathe free! The separation of church and state! Freedom of conscience! Promoting the general welfare! Establishing justice!
Only, this year makes it just a wee bit dificil to be patriotic and all. I wanna carry a sign or wear a tshirt to tomorrow's 4th of July fair / fireworks extravaganza. Not something all in-your-face and partisan, b/c that's not the point. Something mournful, or poignant. Cala has one idea. Others?
