What July 4th is all about...and why not?

What is July 4th? In dependence day! Independence from what? England, of course. But way back in 1776, what happened on July 4th? Some rich white men signed a document that was written by a no name, lesser known gentleman, and then they put the document into the mail. this is equal to a group of Beverly Hills rich getting around to decided they are going to write a letter, and then 200 years latter everyone celebrates them doing this.

This day was not that big of a dela, the real power of the day is what it symbolicly meant. Remember, by wriuting that Declaration - these men commited treason against their country. that type of pride, is something that is just phenomenal! Let's remember that!
