Independence Day

Independence Day has come and past.

In a struggling economy in which people are having to save and scrap more than they have had to in recent years, people turned a one day holiday into a 4 day weekend. Not that I am against people having fun and of course they can do whatever they want, but does it not make more sense to not choose our country's birthday as a time to slack off? Maybe I'm bitter because I worked for much of the weekend.

Another unpopular opinion of mine is who we thank on Independence Day. Most people know that Independence Day represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Who signed this document? Politicians. But, nobody thanks our politicians on Independence Day. I think we should. No matter how crooked and off the mark they may be, if you truly think our country is the greatest in the world, you must thank them. Are you going to thank yourself and other regular Americans? You lazy people are too busy slacking off to get any credit.
