It’s Independence Day on the Moon, too

Unmitigated Gall

The Ministry would like everyone to have a happy, explosive filled, and thunderstorm-free Independence Day.  If you are in Ohio, achieving this will be rather difficult, as the last two options are nigh on to unachievable thanks to the vagaries of weather and an Ohio’s nanny-minded legislature.  The only legal fireworks in my homestate are now, sadly, smoke bombs and sparklers.  Sad.  The day we celebrate our independence, we are not free to buy rockets and explosives to celebrate.  A small lesson that we should take to heart is that independence and freedom are not the same.  Perhaps we should institute a Liberty and Freedom day, to drive home the point.

In the meantime, though, celebrate America’s independence as best you can, wherever you are.  And next year, the Buckethead will remember to stop in somewhere truly freedom loving, like West Virginia or Pennsylvania, to buy lots of fireworks before getting to Ohio.  In this way, he will bring joy to his many nieces and nephews, rather than ridicule and derision upon himself for not thinking of it.
