The 4th of July is a day of mourning

At least it is in 2004. Just take a look outside - see all those flags? Ronald Reagan has died and for the first time in our country's history, we'll watch the parades and the fireworks and we'll remember our founding fathers while the Stars and Stripes mourns the loss of one of its former elected leaders, and more. I think our founding fathers would be mourning too, if they could join us this Sunday. I think if they saw those flags flying half-mast this Sunday, our Independence Day, they could only assume the existence of a national tragedy of immense proportions. They would be right of course - the events and politics of this past 4 years are something to be mourned.
