That's right, it's the Fourth of July! One of, if not THE, most important holidays in this great country. A great excuse to go out an exercise your ability to set off small explosives, burn up some grass or asphalt in your backyard or driveway, or even shoot off some firearms (safely into a good backstop-NOT IN THE AIR!). Go out and grill some meat, enjoy the weather and family.
Let us not forget those men who basically signed their lives away when they put out that Declaration of Independence. Remember that by doing that, they were, in the eyes of Britain, committing treason. Nowadays, we don't shoot or hang traitors...more's the pity. Back in the 1770s, though, it was a different story. Those men put their lives on the line for an idea of a free and independent set of colonies...which happened to turn into the great country that we have today! I know that times are tough, government sucks and all that...but remember that YOU have the right and ability to: 1. Complain; 2. Do something about it; or 3. Do nothing. Remember that by doing nothing, you've chosen to preserve the status quo. Enough soapboxing.
Go out and thank a soldier. Find a cop and thank him/her. Find a fireman and shake his hand and thank him. Thank them all for the jobs they do to protect YOUR life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
