Comment on Why is it called independence Day tomorrow? Shouldn't it be undependents day? At any rate we screwed it up.

  The fireworks are due to a line in the star spangled banner

    Yeah, Im sure people are thinking so much about that line as they pop the top off their 14th bottle of bud and watch their 6 year old fumble a lit mortar shell

    People just like being dumbasses and blowing shit up. In my city one of the more common activities is firing live rounds from handguns into the air. People get hit every year by falling bullets. Its just dumb shit plain and simple. Im so glad to live in a place now where the fire danger means no fireworks on the 4th every year. Its legitimately a more enjoyable holiday even if you cant blow shit up
