Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain –
and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin
Any fool can in the United States. Â That’s one of the beauties of our system. Â 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. Â It’s up to us to educate our children so they don’t get swept up in the manufactured fear that is being created. Â But, on July 4th, 2016 let’s remember that any fool can also encourage, accept and rejoice. Â 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.
