Seconded. Everything isn't ****ing politics.
First, I am just a history buff.
Secondly, Independance isn't about beer, fireworks, BBQ, Girl Friends and family, etc.
Thirdly, on a day like July 4th we should all remember what we(our ancestors) had to fight for and how we got to that point. Be it the Sons of liberty, the taxes, paliament, king george, the loyalists, Boston tea party, the boston massacre, Lexington and Concord, etc. These are important Independance Day, as without these there might not be an independance day. In short the politics of Independance Day are important. Good Grief!
Forth, It shames me to think that people honestly see July 4th as only an opportunity to get drunk and see fireworks.
