Happy Birthday, Thomas Jefferson, one of my
greatest heroes. Your ideas and example
will live on. I intend to defend my
rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” against all the
prevailing ideologies that seek to collectivize us, socialize us, and tribalize
us, stamping out all individuality.
This day also is traditionally Songkran, Thai
New Year with its famous water-throwing festivities. But it is canceled to keep people from
gathering during the pandemic, and all alcohol sale and use is prohibited throughout all of Thailand for
well over a week.
So much for my "liberty and pursuit of happiness"; yet their stated intention is to guard my "life", therefore I'm not ready to pitch into full revolutionary mode over it -- yet. Besides, it is just too damn hot to move.
It is the first time in all my years here that I have not experienced water thrown around on the streets. In this horrid heat, it would have been welcomed.
