This is one week's harvest from my two backyard zuchhini plants.

I just pulled four more gigantic zucchinis from my garden. All told I now have eight monster zooks just from the past week. Worse still there are a half dozen more growing on the vine as I speak. They have begun to take over my entire vegetable garden with their long tubes of cellulose that they use to extend their wide fan leaves, blocking out all the sun from the nearby tomatoes, cabbages, and beans. The zucchini plant is like Mr. Burns, in a way. I chopped off about half their leaf stems to get them back in line and will be ruthlessly enforcing the no-grow zones. Now their severed arms will be mulch for the plants they’ve been covering.

And whereas: we have celebrated the fuck out of that fact every year for over 200 years

And whereas: the Chinese control all our debt

And whereas: the Arabs control all our oil

And whereas: the US economy is dependent on people buying our crap

And whereas: while we have freedom, we are independent of no one

I hereby propose: that we celebrate our Interdependence on July 4th rather than our Independence
