happy Independence Day!

[lookingland]

We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.

~ George Washington, Jul. 15, 1777



George is so cool. He's the coolest.

Americans celebrate this day on the 4th, but it was on July 2nd, 1776, that the Second Continental Congress first voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence, so i figgered i would split the difference and post today.

besides, i am eating watermelon and technically, as soon as the watermelon is cracked open, the celebration commences.

i officially adopt all of my non-American flisters (whether you want to be adopted or not) and make you honorary citizens for the weekend so that you can have hot dogs and watermelon and fireworks too. enjoy!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? You're so wrong... I mean, everybody knows that the 4th of July is celebrated because that's the day the Congress did the whole Constitution thing. ;-)

Do you know how many people actually believe that drek? They seem to forget (or were never properly taught) that the Declaration and the Constitution are two entirely separate documents.

Happy 4th to ya, Boots.

lol... your impression is spot-on.

Here, let me try... We'll see if I can do as well as you.

"The Constitution? Isn't that what we threw in the bathroom when we ran out of toilet paper?"

How was that?
