I complimented a 30-something-year old today on his JFK tattoo as he greeted us and other guests for his 4th of July pool party. He was bare-footed, buffed, well-tanned, and wore only red, white, and blue boardshorts. He recognized like-minded Libertines in me and J.D., neighbors and fellow Angelenos. As "freethinkers, people unrestrained by convention" (Webster's loose definition), he and his girlfriend weren’t celebrating America’s independence from Britain but rather the current war against our own President and his administration, hell-bend on destroying democracy. -SQ
