 I'm wishing all the best to my fellow Rantburgers on this day commemorating the birth of these United States of America.I value all of you for various reasons, even the 'Herbs' for comic relief. I also fondly remember all those of us here who have passed on, AP, Joe Mendiola and the rest, and hope they are in a better place. I also salute all who are serving, and who have served, for your commitment to duty. That is all, time to warm up the grill.

| #14 A direct relative and cousins gunned and manned the USS United States, the ship out of Warren, Rhode Island, was the first American vessel to take to the seas following the Declaration of Independence. The sloop attacked and took possession of two British ships. It then captured a Brigantine out of North Carolina and took it to port where in October it was adjudged not to be trading with the enemy. With their pockets filled the United States owners returned to New York City where the sloop was sold off and assumed anew name and took to sea under the first American flag. |

| #4 Happy Independence Day! America is the most interesting (and successful!) political experiment in the last 500 years. We managed to create a new thing - a nation based not on soil or blood, but on an idea. No matter their race, color, creed, or planet of origin, anyone can raise their hand and say "I believe in the Constitution of the United States and will defend it against all enemies, both foreign and bureaucratic" and *snap* you are in the club. We made it and we made it work. No wonder we are a bit smug. Thank you all for your participation. The U.S. Constitution is less than a quarter the length of the owner's manual for a 1998 Toyota Camry, and yet it has managed to keep 300 million of the world's most unruly, passionate and energetic people safe, prosperous and free. -- P.
