pol blather 

I'm from a southern/military brat/immigrant community background and steadily drifted leftwards which means my feelings about the holiday alternate between

* this should be a time to reflect on about my relationship to this country

* especially as right now this country is pretty nakedly obviously about being all the negatives. If the positives are there it's real subtle in 2018.

* the holiday's just an excuse to eat and listen to loud noises, it doesn't need to be anything else.
