To our friends in the USA – Happy Independence Day!
‘…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.’ Having just spent an exchange year at an american law school, and taken classes on american legal history, it always strikes me just how admirable people like washington, franklin, and, later, lincoln were. (I’ve no time for jefferson, the hypocrite). I wish that the US political élite still had that ‘decent respect to the opinions of mankind’!
here’s another one:
‘For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences’
Jesus. Has anyone in the US government even *read* the declaration?
Holidays could be a lot “happier” if everybody would not celebrate them on the same day, That is, if we didn’t all jump in our cars and drive to the same places on the same day of the year.
But humans like congestion, even if only so the can bitch about it.
There, flame that!
Happy 4th of July from your friends in Canada, eh!

Or in the words of that great American philosopher, Yogi Berra, “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded!”
Though his statement : If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him.” might find relevance here on another day.

pieter De Becker,
I’ve been to Belgium 3 times and all I can say is, what a great country! Brussels is wonderful, Brugge is timeless and Antwerp was really cool. And the beer? Oh, the beer over there is fantastic. So, for now, you might not have iPhones – but you have great chocolate, waffles, mussels and beer!!!
My wife and I are going to stay in Brugge for a week the next time we come. That town is so beautiful (and modern – at least in the shopping area). And there are so many people riding bicycles there. Ahhh, the memories…
American cousins!
It’s never too late to repent of your sins.
If you decide to return to the fold, my great, great, great, great granddaughter, Elizabeth II will, graciously, make you welcome.
iPhones are the preferred gift at the palace.
Thenkyou kaindly!
Happy Independence Day, America!
Little Independence Day prezzie for all you lucky yank iPhone owners:

Happy 4th to all my fellow Americans. Enjoy the holiday!
Happy 4th from Italy too! Enjoy your iPhones!
Independence day??!! you guys are 3 days late! If you want to celebrate something, this is the 63rd anniversary of the battle of Kursk.
I second what Mummy said. Do come?
If you bring me an iPhone, you may have a go with my wife… affectionately known around here as “ol’ Seabiscuit”…
unless you’d rather have me o’course…
wut wut!!
Happy Fourth guys!
The unanimous decision of all 13 colonies to declare themselves free and independent states ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…
Americans have no style…
The old world rules!
… let it be so.

too bad the iPhone is not independent :'(
The unanimous decision of all 13 colonies to declare themselves free and independent states ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows (1950’s Twenty One quiz show scandal), games (Salt Lake City Olympic payments scandal), sports (Ice skating’s Tonya Harding assault case), guns (numerous campus shootings), bells (cracked Liberty Bell), bonfires (Ku Klux Klan celebrations) and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…
As I floated above the Earth I saw endless swirls of blue with white, golden browns and green. As I moved closer in I began to identify myself with ideas …they alone began to differentiate me from my fellows and I warred with them in fear to defend my own understanding of real and right. I included aggression and greed and fought their descendants for millenniums until the Earth swirled red along with its blue and white. I have to admit it’s been fun but now I realize that I’ve been pretty f*ked up all these centuries. If ideas got me into this maybe ideas can find me a way out of the chaos. I think I’ll stop killing people …and then …then I’ll forward this on to Muhammad and see what he thinks.
