The Fourth of July and Social Democracy

There is a nice piece by Professor Harvey J. Kaye of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on social democracy, "Social Democracy Is 100% American" on the Bill Moyers website.

It's spurred by a discussion of Bernie Sanders, the social democrat Senator from Vermont who is running for President.

It's worth considering those arguments while we honor the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America.

The Pacific NW Magazine of the Seattle Times has a cover story about protest and the American flag.

-- "Our flag, used as a symbol of pride and protest, tells a lot about who we are"
