..."I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... 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 for evermore."

Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity--but then, we elected them.

I am cat sitting for a friend, while she is back in the states on business. When she showed me where she lives, I noticed all the cars in the block of houses had US military tags on them. I commented on that and the lady replied " I know, if I wanted to have American neighbors, I would live in America". Evidently, she has lived there for quite some time and wasn't happy that her block became leased housing for the military. I agree with her whole heartedly...which is why I too, live in Germany as do lots of other expats, who are not in the military.
