To all my NEW friends here, and even if we have gone at it hammer and tongs inother fora, I see all of you as friends. Have a joyous, Glorious, and safe Independence Day.

Even with our problems, and we do have a lot, this Republic is the best nation that has existed. The personal freedoms, the freedom of expression, of movement, and of worship is unequalled.

John Adams wrote to his dear wife, Abigail: “I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival… it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…”

So, to those who decry these things, saying that we are forgetting the True Meaning – A fig upon you! Ditto to those who wish to take our guns, fireworks (illuminations), and bonfires.

Justice Robert H. Jackson – It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.

(and,yes, I'm letting my jingoistic nationalism show in this post - freedom of expression and all that rot)

I often wonder, 3855, why we don't have a day of celebration as well, for having got rid of one of our more troublesome colonies!!!
