Yes, sweet.

You know, there is an image going around on Facebook...apparently a lot of younger people have been tweeting, "I can't believe America is 2013 years old!..." stupid people, lol.

Happy Independence Day, everyone!

Happy Birthday, America!

I look forward to more pointless wars, pointless deaths and idiotic politics.

Watch out for those terrorists... in the white house.

If our founding fathers knew who ran our government today, they would be ashamed.

The Founding Fathers owned slaves.

 

[LeaningIntoTheMuse]

As opposed to us being slaves now?

... of course... what an oversight... you ARE slaves, living in comfortable homes with running water, electricity, computer, flatscreen tv etc. Slaves because of guvmunt schemes to spy on you and take your guns. Slaves because you have to pay some tax. That compares to actual slavery.

Comfortable homes being foreclosed on;
Running water & power bills that take a third of your income;
Computers and TV's bought on credit cards that take the rest of your income;
ACTUAL government spying, not "schemes." ....

The point of this thread was my expression joy regarding a holiday. So, do not use it to start a flame war over whether my country is corrupt and mean spirited. Sadly, you find those two states of mind in just about every governmental body these days.

I'm actually for gun control, but I don't like being spied on.

^This. +1000. Well ******* said. Some people just love to honeysuckle stir....anonymously, of course. :/

The thread was a nice idea - thanks for the thought.
