(A better criticism would be, "Is it appropriate to have such an
over-the-top celebration when there is a war on? Couldn't it be
toned
down just a little?)

That's a side-issue of some significance, sure. The bigger issue is how
much bigger & freewheeling & overt does corporate purchase of the
presidential office have to get before citizens revolt & take back our
government?

The tool to take back the government is available. It's called an
election. No revolt is needed. The real question is how to get more
capable people as candidates, and how to get them elected?

You are of course assuming that the elections results are fair and
correct. As many "crazy" liberal Americans will tell you, they are not,
and more than a few "sane" conservative Washington State residents will
agree. Besides it's more American to throw a Tea Party.
