Recognizing that the 13 original colonies here in the U.S. were largely derived from Mother England, the recently ended strife between the two nations is seen as remedied and cause for a special relationship that trancends the centuries... wherever free men gather...

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Happy birthday from north of the border. You are 243 this weekend, and we are a mere 143.
Why do we bother to celebrate the 4th July in this country?

The media are always reminding us, "we take you over to Washington" etc etc.

Seeing we fought a war of independence, and lost, that should be the last of it.

"Yankee, Doodle, Dandy" Yawn.
Absolute rot !
We've never celebrated 4th July in this country, AOG.
Acknowledging that it may be a cause of celebration to Americans, and particularly Americans on this site, it hardly a *celebration* !!
American Independance day - who chuffin cares?
Have a good weekend, Clanad!
We prove yet again that Britain is a bastion of politeness, good will and generousity -
