You too.
Hopefully, a neighbor of mine won't have a NYC-worthy fireworks display which started at 10 PM. like lastyear. All of us neighbors called the police (who never came) on the guy after two hours of non-stop 'bombs bursting in air' over our homes.

Happy Birthday America! Are we lucky or what? Blessed with and abundance of fertile land and seemingly infinite resources, and heirs to the relative legal security of the English rights of man as secured by the Magna Carta, our forebears decided to form a more perfect union. Forged by fire and their intellect the founding fathers designed and adopted a Constitution that stands as a marvel of human creation and beauty. We, the inheritors of this legacy and these riches, enjoy all of the fruits of the collective labor and toil through the years to keep our admittedly imperfect union and to improve it- as legally enabled by our marvelous Constitution. We share the duty to preserve and protect it, and to at least have the civic duty to care about what happens to her. For all of our disagreements in this corner of our Forum, I think those of us here do. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! You can read here everyday posts by people who want to wipe their asses with the constitution. We are the inheritors of something great and so many of us want to piss it away.

If you want to make me giggle, try posting something positive about the United States. It's easy to be negative. There's always a dumbass in every bunch.

As a parent of kids recently graduated from high school I find the preceding video incredibly unfunny.
The amount of American history-good and bad- that they were taught in school would fit in a thimble. The amount of pc propaganda they were exposed to is mind boggling.
I deleted the rest of my response.
I'll leave it at "Happy Independence Day."

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Hey wait.... my kid knows all about it. Who, when, why, etc. We're good. Can't help all the dumbasses some guy with a camera can find....... Snarky, but true. Not only that. For videos of this type the accurate answers are cut out for the sake of the video's purpose.

For every wrong answer, there are probably twenty right answers.

While my beloved America certainly has her warts, I just don't know of many places you can discuss the warts as freely as we do here. I've traveled enough in other parts of the world to know that, while we may not be getting it perfect, we are getting it pretty damn good and working on better. And the working on better in an open forum is what sets us apart and gives me great hope. Happy 4th everyone!

I think many of the posters here have ideas that would take away freedom and make things much worse.

You mean like the people who wanted to make same sex marriages illegal? I am 100% for gays being allowed to marry, but no I do not mean that. There are freedoms explicitly stated in the bill of rights that people here want to do away with. I think gay marriage is a human right and I am happy that it is legal everywhere in the United States. I wish it were so everywhere. It is a human right everywhere, in my opinion.
