Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain –
and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin
Any fool can in the United States. That’s one of the beauties of our system. I will defend your right to say stupid things. The sad thing is that a system like this also allows for bullies and hatemongers to get a pulpit. It’s up to us to educate our children so they don’t get swept up in the manufactured fear that is being created. But, on July 4th, 2016 let’s remember that any fool can also encourage, accept and rejoice. More fools should do this.
So true. Hate is learned. The system we love also bites us in the butt.
There’s sometimes a plus side to people saying stupid things–it’s blog fodder!
Yes! The next few months should bring a lot of fodder for sure!
One thing I have been wondering about the July 4th celebrations is this: Why did Obama come to the UK to tell us all we should vote to remain stuck in the EU, a political union that took our independence away, when the US places such high value on independence for itself. Weird.
