Me
- Burning Khrome
- I live in an anonymous suburb of an anonymous Midwestern city. I'm older than I feel but younger than my passport picture appears. I'm an INTJ -- and you know what a pain those people can be. I have two strong areas of skill -- sarcasm and nearly paralyzing self-analysis. Put them together like chocolate and peanut butter and you get this blog that sticks to your teeth. The best picture taken of me in the last five years was inside a turtle. I'm afraid to know what that means.

"A Rebublic, Madame. If you can keep it."
Modern Americans can be divided into two groups with this:
"Its too late to apologize."
One group will recognize that that any concilliatory overtures from Parliament were too few, and far too late to avoid war.
The others will think that it was "too late" for the colonists to apologize and debase themselves further before a distant, and uncaring King.
I was interested in the origin of this compelling viral video and traced it back to http://soomopublishing.com/declaration/. The video was widely re-posted and strangely used as the poster child to further the political viewpoints of both the right and the left, though to me the work stands well enough on its own as an integrative force without the need to dissect it for ways to poke the opposing team in the eye. There are enough other opportunities to do that.
There is a variation that someone has created and posted on YouTube where a prescient John Kennedy speech is layered over the top.
