Happy 4th of July, everyone. Although a quick browse of the 4th of July wiki page will reveal that legally we became even from evil England on July 2nd, Congress took two days to debate and revise the Declaration, hence we now celebrate on the 4th. Back then Congress got things done quickly, as opposed to nowadays, when they can get nothing done at all. And I am allowed to complain about that and other shortcomings of the government without getting jailed or executed, and that's one of the things that makes the U.S.A. so beautiful.That, and we have some pretty good patriotic anthems.
and one that really gets my patriotic blood flowing...
I prefer the U.S. Marine Corp version of this song, the one with the mournful harmonica solo, but I chose this one because of the video poster's comments below the video. Just another thing that makes this country so great: some genius can spatter ignorant jingoist babble on YouTube, and that's alright, too! "MESS WITH US AND YOU WILL DIE LIKE THE REST" (!?!) Yikes, after reading that I don't know anymore. Oh well! Happy 4th!
