re: #203 Fozzie Bear

It’s a song and a graphic design. To me, it’s literally nothing. I am fascinated by our history as a species, and less so by our history as a nation. I do think the US has had a special role to play in history, but I think it plays a part far older than our flag. We are part of a tradition thousands of years old, started by the greeks.

That’s how I view things, and as such, that doesn’t make me particularly patriotic. It also doesn’t often make me particularly popular.

It’s all borrowed stuff. Humans are suckers for a good symbol.
