What He Said

[ithildin]

"It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." ~ John Adams on Independence Day

I have noted with interest that the newpapers that have printed this have edited out the "by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty."

I'm going to be sitting out on my porch watching the fireworks at the Town Park. It's nice that I can see them without having to worry about parking.
