Haha, no, that's Thanksgiving. Fourth of July is about getting drunk, barbecuing and scaring your pets with small explosives Laughing

For the 4th, it's hamburgers and hot dogs, heaps of potato salad for starters, and then ribs smoked in Brown Sugar & Hickory sauce, or cooked on the barbeque. Tons 'o beer, and momma's Key Lime Pie.

cheers

It's interesting to look at the American Revolution (what we call it) from an objective standpoint.

The reason -- British citizens living in the American colonies were fed up with being taxed by the Crown but not having the right to vote for representation in Parliament -- was solid.

What followed, however, was properly a secession followed by a civil war, not a "revolution."

And then America, like Texas when it seceded from Mexico, defeated a vastly superior military force against all odds.

In defense of Britain, they had just paid the bill for a long, protracted war we call the French-Indian War.  It was caused by American/British western expansion, which showed no tendency to stop.

Britain felt entitled--and I'm nor sure I don't agree with them--to require the colonists responsible for such a costly enterprise, be the ones to pay for it.  The cry for 'representation' didn't exactly come up until the taxes rose.

American colonists were getting a free ride on the British taxpayer.  Here are all these unruly colonists pressing westward, getting into conflicts, and calling for momma Britain to bail them out.

It was a tension point, no doubt.  But there were two different perspectives, and two different interpretations.

Oh who really cares? It’s just a day like any other day except it gives people a reason to eat more and drink. It’s a day passed down to younger generations who probably don’t give a rat’s arse.
Let’s be honest.

I’m not into “days” that aren’t Christmas...and mostly that’s just for kids.

So. Meh.
