And now, a moment of silence...

I think, since we seem to live in an age where every act that is even moderately lamentable seems to merit a memorial, we should institute a new one to be celebrated on July 4th. We can all gather around and celebrate the memory of whatever freedom or constitutional protection we seem to have lost, sacrificed or given away out of pure stupidity in America in the last year.
There could be a short speech from someone on, say, the freedom from unauthorized search and seizure. Then a video montage of people looking the other way while state and federal judges piss all over the constitution, followed by a weenie roast and fingerprint/retinal scan party.
We could even call it Independence Memorial Day, in honor of what we so quickly and proudly sacrificed in exchange for the privilege of living in a star-spangled police state.
