I am reminded that in Sartre's play Les Mouches (The Flies), it is Egisthe who declares the "National Day of Mourning" to honor Agamemnon (whose murder he perpetrated). Later, it is Jupiter who declares to Egisthe that "gods need men to believe in them." This should be a day on which we, once again, take charge of our own beliefs!
