As if one cancelled fireworks show this year wasn't bad enough. One unpatriotic son-of-a-gun and environmental activist is suing the City of Seattle to stop this year's Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show at Gas Works Park. Don't you want to see the Chase Family 4th try to top the now defunct WaMu's past shows? His rant: the city's alleged failure to do an environmental assessment.

I posted this on the other piece about the Colbert Report:
Hallelujah Stephen Colbert for saying what most PC Seattleites are too wimpy to say! When one individual can ruin everything for the rest of us, it's a sign that the system is seriously broken. I've often wondered why larger groups of people can't simply countersue idiots and just shut them down quicker than the courts. As much as individual rights are important, the cornerstone of democracy is based on majority rule in BALANCE with individual rights. Seems the scales have been gradually tipping too far the other way for a while now and before we can realize it, we'll be sitting at a complete standstill in Seattle (and everywhere else) because someone somewhere disagrees with something.
