happy fourth!

although, honestly, the convention-goers declared independence on July 2nd. The document just didn't get printed up and signed until the 4th. The Revolution, by that time, had been going on for more than a year, which most schoolchildren do not know. If you'd like to learn more, read a book, and try hard to avoid that awful musical (1776), which will just lead you to think poorly of our founding fathers' fashion sense and musical stylings.

if you really want to celebrate America's history, read up on the issues so you'll be ready to vote in November!

KITT as John Adams, come on, classic, plus that Henry that couldnt get on his horse back to VA. Plus Jefferson is less interested in freedom, and more in well freedom of physical expression. How could anyone not like the flick ;-)
