Happy 4th of July! From the U.S.A.

[Clanad]

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. .." July 4th, 1776 We do thank you for the British and English culture and appreciation of freedoms and we do cherish the "Special Relationship" that have existed since shortly after that historic day...

I'm not sure the special relationship started up until after 1814 at least... but happy Independence Day, Clanad.

How could you take the p out of the beloved document?

Belated good wishes for the 4th, Clanad.

We do thank you for the British and English culture and appreciation of freedoms and we do cherish the "Special Relationship"

How refreshing to hear such praise from an ex British colony, pity some others are not so appreciative.

Hi Clanad, hope you had a good day, but one little point, as the grievence was only against George III and he is no longer King aren't you really still a colony? Lol
