July 4th

On this Independence day, remember that our Founding Fathers were highly educated intellectuals who fled the tyranny of the British church.

Aspire to be like our Founding Fathers!

I have a haircut like John Adams. I wonder if that counts. :ROFLMAO:

I'll be home with my pets. My bird got upset hearing some fireworks last week. She darted out of her cage frantically and flew around. She always flies around here but it was the way she dove out that showed she got frightened. I kept reassuring her that everything was ok. I'll be doing that this weekend too if she gets scared šŸ˜Ø. I'm already tired of hearing fireworks. Lots of them last night.

Yes, can be a very traumatizing time for our pets.
I feel badly for dogs left outside during fireworks.
 
I heard maybe a dozen or so fireworks explosions last night. My dog barks in response to the noise, but they don't scare him like they do a lot of dogs.

I'd like to see fireworks outlawed. Drone light shows are the wave of the future. They don't have the noise or fire danger associated with traditional fireworks and a lot more spectacular displays can be created with them. At may age, there's not much novelty with traditional fireworks. I've seen it all before, so I welcome drone shows.

Our Founding Fathers embraced new technology and change for the better. They would have welcomed the transition to drone light shows.
 
I find it somewhat bizarre how patriotic we are on certain holidays and then after those holidays are over, we go back to trashing our country.
Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4, Veteran's Day, Constitution Day and even 9/11 are all flag waving holidays.
 
Myths of the American Revolution
You think you know about the Revolutionary War? The American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence, the Midnight Ride, Valley Forge, the whole glorious chronicle of the colonistsā€™ rebellion against British tyranny is in the American DNA.

Yet much of what you know is not entirely true. Perhaps more than any defining moment in American history, the War of Independence is swathed in myths, the beliefs are not borne out by the facts. Click on the link above and learn some of the real facts.

I find it bizarre that you find that bizarre. As a Senior, you should recognize human nature when you see it.

This is a National holiday here. You think you're enlightening anyone? Your posts about "myths" in a thread such as this are in very poor taste.

There's nothing wrong with pointing out when our country gets too far from the ideals of our Founding Fathers. Actually, it's patriotic to do so.

There's a time and thread for everything. This thread is of celebration.
