Happy Birthday!!!!
July 04, 1776 is when we "declared" that we separated from England. The actual separation happened over a period of years, after that date.
I think when a husband and wife declare "we've got to have a baby". There is a time of planning and preparation and, uh, "working on it". Eventually, the baby is born.
I'm not sure why the USA celebrates the date when the married couple declares that they are going to work on getting pregnant. Maybe because it's an easy date to find on a document?

And happy 200'th anniversary of the war of 1812 - the war that you started against Canada and we (with the help of the Brits) kicked your ass and burned down your white house.
Here's to you burning your ass on your grill today.

I think it was a momentous occasion to declare independence. That requires celebration, which is why I (naturalized 1984) am flying the flag today.
To keep the declared independence, we need to keep working on those freedoms ...

Cuz it's damned great and amazing!!!
You're just happy in being a pest. Probably the only way you can get attention.
You keep telling yourself that - as your country, economy, and society disintegrates around you.
Don't feel sorry for me - we're doing just fine here in Canada.
Why should anyone be jealous of a country going down the toilet? I know you think you're the center of the universe, and that no-one on planet earth has it better than you - you've been saturated in that propaganda your whole life. See how far that gets you now.
Thanks Dues, we're going to take the country back at the end of the year and repair the damage. ^_^

*Actually*, if you want to pick nits-- the 4th is when all the State delegations of Congress agreed to the Declaration. It passed on the 2nd-- and there were still individual dissenters- though a couple of those signed it after it was printed up next month. [I think the last signature was put on in 1780 or so.]
I'd say that the Declaration was pretty definitive-- More like a divorce -- one party might pursue you for a decade or so-- but you're still divorced.

Indeed. But sometimes you have to stick with custom.
Ya Know. I haven't figured out if you are just an ignorant troll; or just so full of hate you can't help your miserable self.
In either case some pity is probably called for but I refuse to do it.

I think it should be clear that last one was aimed at Home-Butt not Duesenberg.
then don't give it to him
nb
You're right of course. Time to kill file him.
In this case, it is accurate---- But I've known a few Mormons, and our stormy moron is an outlier.
Nice link, BTW.
