Just one thought for the day: What started out as an article about rebellious punk rock prompted a larger question about what the fight is for. The fight is important, and understanding where you stand makes a difference. Welcome to the happy hour hangover and a few deep thoughts.

A line in an article written last year in The Guardian about the iconic song by The Sex Pistols, God Save The Queen, brought up thoughts of rules, rulers, and the ruled. In the article, Dorian Lynskey talks about the song and how it represented the British Government, not specifically Queen Elizabeth; she was the monarch at the time. The line in the article was;

The term Resentfully Ruled is the term that resonates, and it makes you wonder if there has ever been a time when the ruled appreciated being ruled. The current environment looks the same as in the 70s in Britain; the ruled resent being ruled, only the reasoning has changed. If the punk rock rebellious spirit of the 70s and 80s has transformed into the F*ck You generation willing to fight about nothing except the fight itself, I can only hope God can save the Queen and the rest of us.

Eventually, all things will pass. Does it matter to you what side of the critical issues you are on? The answer to that question might help you determine what side of the fight you are on.
