Happy Independence Day to all of my fellow AmeriDopers! “It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” - John Adams (1776) ---

Don’t feel bad. I’ve heard USians have a thing about British subjects crashing the party. And they’re heavily armed. ---
