Since they decided not to just honor Washington's birthday, and I guess Lincoln's--even though I thought that was overkill--they just have President's Day. Yippee.
But why? What is the point, other than top reinforce reverence and loyalty to so-called leaders? I do not like most presidents. I see no reason to honor them any more than I would have a CEO's day, or Inventor's Day.
The degree of subtle and not so subtle conditioning that we buy into to ensure we are cooperative pawns of authority is alarming. At least to malcontents like me. I will celebrate Independence Day. President's? Just because? Forget it.

Can't make comments any easier, I don't think. People are having trouble--google tries to kidnap them. I'll loosen up one more thing and let's see. Please give it a try
