excellent contest, I will try to participate

I may give this contest a go.

Is the informationwar tag open for anyone to use and are there any guidelines for using it? I believe that some of my content may fit in well there.

It's free for anyone to use. We will up vote posts that relate to our mission statement.

Thank you. Not everything I write is a good fit but I do like to cover propaganda and recognizing / countering it, oppression by systems of authority and some other related topics pretty frequently.

Sounds like good material to me.

Great contest. Although I am a Canadian, I deeply respect and acknowledge the profound and lasting impact that July 4, 1776 has had on all people around the world who believe in truth and freedom.

Yup, it's effect is world wide that's why anyone can enter the contest.

Here you go guys, my take on what I think about and talk about on holidays like today, hope it fits in well :)
Thanks for encouraging these ideas btw
