What does the Fourth of July mean to you?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 4, 2010
“Unfortunately, not as much as it used to. … It just doesn’t have the same pomp and circumstance that it used to.”
“It means a good time, getting together with friends and family, having fun and enjoying life.”
“It’s a time to get together with your family and friends and celebrate the history of this great nation.”
“It’s a patriotic time to celebrate our country and to be happy and grateful for what we have.”

The 4th of July to me, is the beginning of a wonderful experiment in the equality of all man and woman kind. We still haven't extended rights to everyone, but we will despite those who hate groups of people and want to keep them down. It represents the attitude "Question Authority". Don't bow down to heirs of money empires. Don't bow down to stupid politicians or anyone who claims to have all the answers.

The celebration of the birth of the greatest nation this earth has ever seen. Although it was not without dire consiquences; mainly the appalling treatment of Native Americans. (We've got slavery in there too.)
Celebrate with pride, but don't ignore the shame.

It is a time to celebrate our freedom from oppression and tyranny! except in Lawrence where the thought police lurk on every street corner making sure we all are thinking the way the want us to.
