Freedom Walk, Register
Yesterday, I almost bought a copy of Mad magazine.
But I didn’t.
Satire is dead.
Freedom Walk, Register with the DoD. Ask for permission to celebrate freedom and thank those who serve in the military. This is not registration in the usual “getting organized, estimating attendance, where should we send the junk mail for next year” sense, this is presenting your papers and asking permission.
However, if you subscribe to a pre-9/11 notion of freedom, you might prefer to walk without asking permission. Maybe you and some friends could walk through a park dedicated to those who serve in the military - I doubt there is a town in the USA that doesn’t have one. And you might find a veteran to thank in such a place. Thank him or her for the fact that you can express yourself by taking a walk without asking permission, without having your background checked. It’s what we used to call “freedom”.
