ANOTHER MIGHTY RANT


Why do we celebrate the 4th of July? It's one of the several days the Declaration of Independence was signed. Why the Declaration of Independence? Why not some equally important document, like the Constitution? I suppose that, in the current administration, the whole "rights and freedoms" thing doesn't make much difference, but how about the Federalist Papers? Or the Magna Carta? Why the Declaration of Independence?
Setting that aside, most people celebrate the 4th of July in a certain way: they have a barbecue, or maybe go see fireworks. Why doesn't anybody have a specific tradition for Columbus Day? Or Memorial Day? Or Labor Day, which, as far as I know, celebrates mothers giving birth?
