    Today, July 4, is Independence Day. It is the 244th anniversary of when our great nation declared its independence from Britain.

    The Continental Congress in 1776 declared that the 13 original American colonies would no longer be subordinate to the British crown, and Congress signed the Declaration of Independence stating that they were now free and independent.

    The Declaration of Independence is the famous document that announced the 13 colonies would hereby be independent states not under British rule.

    While the Continental Congress had voted for independence on July 2, it was not declared until two days later, on July 4, 1776.

    I don't give a **** about all countries, my friend even though I'm as cosmopolitan as they get having lived all over the world. America is the only country that matters, doubly so today.

    Happy 4th to you.
