We hold these truths to be self evident...

...that the average citizen of this great nation has never read the document upon which the nation was founded.


...that this day has become more about tolerating family you rarely see, than about celebrating the birth of the country.

...that "no fireworks" ordinances are meaningless and no one believes they will ever be cited.

...that the average citizen of this country has no idea what "self evident" means.

...that the author of this blog is way behind on his posts.

...that in the end, for many, today is all about cheap explosions and false patriotism.

...that the average citizen has no idea that second of July is far more important in the history of this republic.

Happy Independence Day folks.
