Well for me it is since Friday is a holiday and I'm off! I do so love the Fourth of July! It means so much and is now just the day for massive firework displays, grilling outside, and getting together.
Well all of those things are fine but it is also the day we stood up to the British Empire, the super power in the world then and told them we were willing to fight for our sovereignty. We declared independence in 1776 and broke away from the Brits.
The rest is literally history now. We sit as the lone super power in the world today. We command the most powerful military ever assembled in the history of the world. We command the biggest economy in the history of the world. We have the most generous people who always jump to help others afflicted by natural disasters or illness.
Our Founding Fathers really had nerve. They had so much courage and intelligence. Now even though they are not forgotten by most people they are largely ignored. Our population rarely has an original thought left despite all of our good intentions.
Unfortunate. Its unfortunate our educational system has failed us in so many ways.
