: July fourth is the day when most of us in the USA commemerate the : ideals of Rouseau, Locke, Smith, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Henry, : Paine, etc., in our own personal way by cooking some meat on a : charcoal grill. Typically, citizens wear shorts and tank tops. The : ceremony is usually conducted in a backyard, at the beach, or often : the local swim club. Beer and soda often accompany a menu of : barbecued beans, coleslaw, Potato chips, steaks, hot dogs and : hambergers. Paper plates are popular. In many locales, public : fireworks displays are held for 2,3 or 4 days culminating in : a spectacular multi-million dollar event. In Boston, America's : cradle of Liberty. Minute men re-enact Paul Revere's ride and : the "shot heard 'round the world." The USS Constitution makes its : annual turn around cruise in Boston Ha'bah while crowds throng : at Waterfront Park within walking distance of Fan'l Hall, the : Old North Church, The Old South Meeting Place. A public outdoor : concert (televised nationally) is held on the banks of the Charles : across from lcs.mit.edu. Arthur Fiedler and John Williams are : gone now, but close to half a million people still swell the park : and sing along to America the Beautiful. Late in the evening : the fireworks rocket into the air. The incredible, pyrotechnic event : lasts almost an hour. Then, abruptly; it is over. Similar scenes : occur all over the country. It is easy to take so much for granted : in such a rich nation where all "men are born equal and endowed : by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these are : the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." : Happy Furth of July, everyone! CHERRY BOMBS IN EMPTY TRASH CANS....BUT OK I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN..
