The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Morning all. Here at Hopium Sundays are rest days, take it easy days, days to spend with family and friends, days to reboot, recharge and get ready for the week ahead.

So, I only have one thing for you today - we need to own the 4th.

What I mean by '“own the 4th” is that we should work, through our groups and networks, to make the true meaning of the holiday come to life this year. We need to find ways to make this July 4th not just about hot dogs, parades and fireworks, but one that celebrates the Declaration of Independence and our rejection of and separation from a Mad King. Of all American holidays this one should be our day, and not his. We need to use this day to remind Americans about why we built a political system of We The People that rejected monarchy and oligarchy. We need to turn this day into a celebration of our democracy, our Constitutional order, our flag, our greatness, and his betrayal of it all. We should make this a day a good day for us, an important day for us, and a really bad one for him.
