San Francisco Quote of the Day: 4th of July
What better way to think about the 4th of July in San Francisco than as aptly described by Christiana Dominguez in her 2004 musings on Metroblogging SF? (Full post here.)
In a city where the flags are more often rainbow than red-white-and-blue, and the voters are usually bluer than the red rest of the country, patriotism is expressed as much in how we break traditional notions of American as it is in how we celebrate it. And if dissent truly is the most American expression of patriotism, then I can’t imagine where I’d have a more independent Independence Day.
