Other than myself being born upon this day, it has only two other things to recommend it.
-Francis Scott Key penned the Star Spangled Banner on this day. Sweet!
-Theodore Roosevelt became president de factor after McKinley's assassination assault a few days before. TR's pretty much amazing.
However, some pretty horrible things have also happened on this day to stop the laudability of my day.
-Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was born. She was an insane racist and arian supporter who hope to extinguish the black community by placing abortion clinics in the economically depressed city regions. A fowl taste comes to my mouth...
-Britney Spears deigned to give birth to her first child. Why couldn't she wait a few more hours!?
-And, this year, Sharia Law has been legitimisiced as a form of governing law in Great Britain. Crazy, nuttiness. And, randomly, when I looked it up on BBC news, it was no where to be found. Thank you London Times for letting us know what's going on.
So, right now, other than it being my date of birth, I think the cons waaaay outweigh the benefits. It's got a lot going against it. Well, I certainly hope I can do something of value to bring some honour back to this date. I pray that I might.
