Not to rain on the 4th of July parade but we should keep it in perspective.

[Ralphy1]

We have been the good guys a great deal of the time but we have also done a lot of mischief in the world pursuing our own interests: overthrowing governments, assassinations, invasions, etc. just a thought to keep us from getting carried away with how wonderful we are today...

Aww, c'mon Ralphy. One day a year it's ok. We make up for it the rest of the year.

 

[Ralphy1]

Well, enjoy your hot dog and try not to think of all the hungry people that we hav helped to create...

 

[NancyNGA]

... think of all the hungry people ...

You sound like my mother trying to make me eat chipped beef on toast.

Well, enjoy your hot dog and try not to think of all the hungry people that we hav helped to create...

And I hope you will do the same!

Chipped beef on toast is fine, but I ate an awful lot of oatmeal and Malt-o-Meal for the children starving in Japan.

I don't really get all yayy America today or any other day. Just fun fireworks festivities and red, white, and blue nail polish...oh and funnel cake...what's not to love? Oh and our fireworks were literally a washout. The rains came just after dark. My heart is still pitty patting from the traffic. A mass exodus of a few hundred people at the same time is no fun.

How about a little Kate Smith!

Kate Smith was awesome! If anyone is tri-state tune into the New York fireworks, they're live right now.
