Happy Bastille Day

Here's a pretty old post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 18 years ago, in 2006, on the World Wide Web.

There aren’t many so-called national holidays worth celebrating — most of them are nothing more than the high holy days on a theo-nationalist liturgical calendar, in which the Nation is the Church, the State is God, and the minions of the Government are the Saints that you’re expected to venerate. (See, for example, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Veterans’ Day, Columbus Day, etc.) There are some glorious exceptions, though, and today is one of them.

Liberté, liberté cherie,
Combats avec tes defénseurs …

Break the jails and bury the chains.
