As the holiday approaches I’ve noticed how little fireworks activity has occurred. According to the city ordinance there is a six day period when fireworks can be used, and so far there has been little disturbance. There could be a number of answers to this, one being the choice between eating and not. With prices as high as they are, there really is that choice.
I think that half America do not know what the fireworks are for. I am often asked what Independence Day means for me, I usually answer with a smile and say “We were glad to get rid of it, the journey to work was too far”.
Now my answer might be different. New colonials wanted to escape the tyranny of the British Monarchy, and winning the war of Independence signalled this new order.
So two hundred and twenty eight years later America has its own tyranny. Not a Monarchy, but a group of power crazed individuals financially supported by many special interests that have destroyed the republic.
“We the people” has been replaced by “We the elite” the rights of the individual has changed to manipulation by these shadowy characters.
Convincing the population to space themselves six feet apart from each other, wear masks, and take a vaccine, or lose your livelihood, these were part of this change.
Yes the British weren’t perfect, they have a lot to answer for, but it has existed for many hundreds of years, America has ruined what it had, and for the majority of its citizens, they have the country they deserve, the others have to put up with it.
