Washington_Resignation

Washington’s actions are specially important to consider as we live in an era that lionizes the accumulation rather than the abnegation of power, authority, and money. It is also rather telling that on a holiday to celebrate Washington and Lincoln, I find nothing in the media that really addresses anything concerning either of these two men: nothing on the web pages of FoxNews, CNN or NPR; not even a special Google logo; Hugo Chavez on the front page of the Post and Jesse Jackson on the Tribune. One wonders why we maintain a holiday at all if nobody even acknowledges it.
