One of the tensions in liberalism is that increasing liberty erodes the value of closed technological loops such as nationalism. I was in California this week doing a round of meetings and introductions so I didn't have much time for photography. However on Tuesday night we managed to visit several restaurants and bars; ending in this Karaoke bar in San Mateo.
The karaoke bar sang as much Spanish as it did English. In fact the guy that stole the night did so with a Spanish rendition of "I did it my way" in a wonderfully powerful voice. No one cared. Fun was being had. Drinks were being sold. Liberalism won the night.
