Simple poll question, extended replies are optional.
Personally, I kind of forgot [don't hate me uncle Sam], I ended up spending the first half of the day with my aunt in the hospital, out on town with my dad, and some more time with another aunt. Yeah, I'm a bit old-fashioned, big deal.
My brother and sister on the other hand celebrated with fireworks and friends, I don't know if hot dogs were supplied.
Anyone else?
[I hope this question isn't out of line in any way]

I don't think many people even care what the 4th of July means anymore. Now it is firecrackers, beer, and barbacue. Oh well, this will happen when any holiday becomes commercialized.

Though the Canada vs USA feuds are somewhat amusing, especially when presented in the form of 'Due South', I'm thinking it might be better for this particular thread if we don't all go down that road.

I got a really hilarious Washington Post article about old secret US & Canadian war plans to invade each other (real plans).
The author actually turns the piece into a satire. I think it would be good to break from all this political tension.

Throughout most of my life I celebrated my family celebrated my birthday on the Fourth. So my poor kids grew up thinking the Fourth of July was for me.
I stopped celebrating it when I stopped celebrating my birthday.
It is a good day for us as Americans to stop and think for a few minutes that at one time not very long ago, we were an oppressed nation and we had to fight for our right to exist as a Nation. Perhaps we also should remember that there may be other people in the world facing what we faced in 1776.
