Tomorrow is the fourth of July, it's the day America celebrates it's birthday and independence from the tyranny of King George III of Britain. It's the day the American colonies declared their sovereignty and exercised their rights as individuals to abolish the current form of government and start a new one.
The topic of this contest is simply share your thoughts and opinions on July 4th 1776. What it means to you as an American or even as foreigner what does it represent to you. Back up your claims with evidence too. If you like or dislike July 4th 1776 give a reason why, cite sources and examples for that claim.
Rules

- Post a link to your contest entry in the comments below.

excellent contest, I will try to participate
Great contest. Although I am a Canadian, I deeply respect and acknowledge the profound and lasting impact that July 4, 1776 has had on all people around the world who believe in truth and freedom.
Yup, it's effect is world wide that's why anyone can enter the contest.
I may give this contest a go.
Is the informationwar tag open for anyone to use and are there any guidelines for using it? I believe that some of my content may fit in well there.
It's free for anyone to use. We will up vote posts that relate to our mission statement.

Thank you. Not everything I write is a good fit but I do like to cover propaganda and recognizing / countering it, oppression by systems of authority and some other related topics pretty frequently.
Sounds like good material to me.
Here you go guys, my take on what I think about and talk about on holidays like today, hope it fits in well :)
Thanks for encouraging these ideas btw
