Wherever you may be in the land of the free, enjoy the day off and this evening's fireworks. And don't forget to remind the colonials that if they hadn't signed the Declaration of Independence, they would all be getting five weeks of vacation every year and Boxing Day. The impetuous fools!  |

Happy 4th to you Dallas, from South Carolina.
There's a meeting of Honda Goldwing riders in town today and we're just off to see a parade of around 5,000 of them as they head into downtown for the celebrations.

Why the Fuck would any British born person want to have a happy fourth of July??? Do you Know how many Brits died in that god forsaken place? If we had not of had our hands full defending Europe from that Corsican upstart as well as keeping India/Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Eygpt, West indies, Half of China, Australia, Canada & half of Africa in check we would of won the war and the world would be a safer place! Think about it  |

Think about it .....Thats an empire that even the deranged Dubya would be proud of.....I'm not sure if the natives of any of those places would agree with your views though! Anyway, happy 4th to all the US exiles, and goooooaaaaarn Stoke......not long to go now before the REAL fireworks kick in! |

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Think about it The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) Napoleon I born 15 August 1769 Austalia first settled as a penetentiary in on 26 January 1788 go look up why we had a war with china and when in fact the "empire" at the time was , some caribean islands and ummm America and Canada (half of which was french) |

(working) theory (bear with me....):
US Govt is the biggest threat to world peace - can anyone really argue with this? -
Had we won that war then maybe the world would be safer right now?
not much of a theory admittedly.....
