I think David Bowie might be right!
"Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes."
The vast majority of Americans don't even know any British national holidays. Yet you guys all know ours. That is awesome.
We take greater pride in our hoidays and let the world know it, that is how awesome we are.Macbeth wrote:

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Great fireworks in DC. Saw 'em at a park that's next to Reagan National Airport, airplanes constantly taking off right over our heads. Buddy proposed to his girl and she said yes.
How was everyone else's 4th?

Went to a bbq and then cruised on my friends sailboat to watch fireworks. Pretty relaxing day, I must say.

If it weren't for will smith, we might not know about it.
Movies have a lot to play in spreading cultural knowledge. The major reason so many know about Independence Day is the Will Smith movie. Most likely the first thing anyone under 25 heard about July 4 was from the movie at least. Same for other things. Only reason so many Americans know about Guy Fawkes is because of V for Vendetta. New Zealand was completely unknown until Lord of the Rings, now they only image people have of it is a wilderness of Hobbits and Orcs. Ditto for Australia where people think everyone wears khakis and drawls 'crikey' at every opportunity while being constantly attacked by deadly creatures. Name the national sport of Jamaica. Did you guess bob-sledding?
