thepete.com: American Dream or American Myth?: http://ping.fm/TZYrR

Kid Rock has nothing to do with
this post. His knowledge of how
to treat the American flag is
mythical, however. :\

I’m a big believer in the power of myth. My only gripe is when people don’t admit that what they believe in is a myth in the first place. See, I don’t think aa story has to be true in order to learn valuable life lessons from it. So, I can be an Atheist and learn from Jesus, or not believe in the Federal Reserve and still earn and spend money. The thing is, I understand and admit that both are myths–fictions that don’t represent anything provable.

Now, the only reason I bring this up is because the other day, an Internet acquaintance of mine and I were talking about political party differences between my country and his (he’s in Germany) and naturally taxation came up (check the comments to see the convo). He referenced that little chestnut of historical Americana, “Taxation Without Representation” via the Boston Tea Party, and suggested it was our “founding myth.”

I did take issue with this, but only the part where he suggested that it was our “founding myth.”

Oh, I agree it’s a myth in that the “Boston Tea Partiers” were likely Freemasons who probably worked it out with the British East India Company (run by Freemasons) to let them throw British East India tea into the harbor, thus making it a kind of “false-flag operation,” and thus, a myth–but the idea that our country was founded on this myth? Nah, that’s not accurate to me at all. So, here’s how I replied (emphasis added for effect):
