Happy Independence Day, America!
 

I do hope everyone has a great day ... even if you're not from the US. :)

Thanks DB, and to you and yours! :)

Happy Birthday to all you Americans.

235 today.

We've had a hell of a good run.

Been an average day so far...gotta get to work in a few, animals dont' take holidays.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

--United States Declaration of Independence

Here's to treason!

Treason with a good reason.

So long as I'm the arbiter of what constitutes a good reason.

We can't get all democratic with this.

Remember, the USA was founded as a treason against HRH George III of England.

I agree Oldfart, it was treason with a great reason. No taxation without representation was just one of them. However, it was still treason.

We're tapdancing towards the freedom fighter/terrorist chestnut.

We won't upset the birthday party.

More or less in my initial post I was referring to the scene in the movie National Treasure, where Nicholas Cage was toasting the treason that men who signed the Declaration of Independence committed by signing said document.

Sorta thought that.

That sounds like a dangerously slippery slope. :p

And I have a SOFA leading to it.
