Today's "Google Doodle"

From: Google, July 4, 2015

July 4th. Today's Google Doodle chose lawn chairs, a cooler, and a couple of family pets to represent us on this Independence Day.  And, to be fair, Google did manage to work in a couple of table flags.

But, intended or not, I suspect there's more than a touch of accuracy here.

I interpret the empty chairs as symbolic of most Americans being MIA when it comes to protecting and defending their once-cherished rights and liberties.
