I just had an awesome idea.

In England, they burn effigies of Guy Fawkes on the day devoted to his hanging.

I think we should adopt something similar. Would it not be awesome to burn an effigy of a classic British red-coated soldier to symbolize America's independence?

The only problem I can find with this idea is that most citizens of this nation are too ignorant of it's history to appreciate the symbolism.

Happy Independence Day, USA! Jul. 4th, 2009 @ 06:04 am
And to all of you Americans, happy 4th! Have a happy and safe one.

I, for one will be enjoying federal holiday (time-and-a-half) pay for the day, and working it. Not that I had a choice in the matter, mind you.

Though I'm not a crazy flag-worshiping nutjob, I do care about this country. The 4th of July is one of the few holidays I still actually give a shit about. And while the trappings might annoy me, what it stands for still fills me with a sense of pride.
