Inauguration Participation

Q: It seems like a new politician or entertainer is refusing to attend or perform at the inauguration each day.  Is that good or bad?
-Pete, Austin

DoA: I think it's sad.  But as a supporter of individual liberty, I don't think someone should be forced to participate in a celebration or ceremony that goes against his or her deeply held personal beliefs.  Maybe this will result in individual liberty making a comeback.


What do you think about all of the inauguration no-shows?
