I got up, went to work, and have worked like any other day. I plan to go home, shop at the local Acme, make some meatloaf for dinner, play Freedom Force on my PC until my wife comes home and go to sleep.

Note that there is no television or radio included in this set of activities. The closest I came to patriotic fervor today was playing James Brown's "Live at the Apollo '95" on my car's tape deck, which happens to include "Living in America." I _know_ what happened last year; I don't need it recapped in moment-by-moment detail on forty-seven stations.

Nationalism and patriotism are great things... every two years or so, when they help us set up teams and rooting interests for the Olympic Games. That's about how much use I have for the concepts.
