Photo of the week:

Independence.

What are we celebrating? Why do the bombs burst in the air? Of what did these bombs give proof through the night? Our flag is still here. Where are we taking it? What are we doing with it? What have we done to it already? Do we celebrate our solidarity, our citizenship, our freedom?

I think this independence day, this time of celebration, we should remember why this country was founded, the principles so lost in the rhetoric that they are all but forgotten. We are free, free from oppression of thought, speech, religion, belief. Free. Let's, in the next year, see exactly how free we really are.
