Who cares about fireworks... Let's use Lightnings, machine guns, and cannons. :D

Quote:

...July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. 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 forevermore. - John Adams 1776

Happy 4'th and thankful am I for the remarkable group of visionaries present in "the colonies" and that eventful time! To have Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and George Washington, and others, present together to have an influence on the design of a new country seems rather amazing.

Thanks and a belated Happy 4th to the rest of the Americans
