If not for the other smart-aleck patriots of the United States, today would have marked the debut of the April Fool’s project SendBackLiberty.us. Instead, the creators were trumped by another site and had to announce early. Said other site received much attention, and eventually sold its original domain name for $199 on eBay. But capitalism and competition are foundations of our nation, so there will be no whining. I just want to say, for the record, that in times of crisis, it is good to look for some humor. The site was not meant to hurt anyone on any side, but to give a chuckle. We incensed some people who thought we were insane and drove others to further anti-French sentiments. But the wonderful part of participating in this project for me was that it took place across country boundaries. The collaborators came from 3 different nations and many parts of the U.S. Some of us have never met in person before, and yet we successfully collaborated across timezones and space. That is the true beauty of the Internet, and that is no joke. (thank you Neale and secret cabal!)
