what is your favorit part of the 4th of July?

Freedom!

I think my favorite part, as side from the fireworks, is all the programs they have on TV about the fight for independence. I like PBS, especially. I realize that we all don't understand what our for fathers went through to to obtain freedom. Most of the people today wouldn't do what they did. I think most people now days just don't care. They figure that it was something in the history books. They don't realize that they were real people. They got up every morning, ate breakfast, went to the outhouse ect. Got out every day and earned there living, all be it under much harder circumstances. These were REAL PEOPLE!!!!! Why can't U realize this.

It's a different world now and we have those men to thank for it. I just don't think anybody cares.

It's just PATHETIC what we've become. LAZY SPOILED ROTTEN BRATS!!!!

The actual reading of the Document. This is the true celebration of knowledge and wisdoms that were intended to be a part of this country.

Truth rings on forever.

When the Star Spangled Banner is played at displays, and everyone stands with their hand on their heart out of respect and appreciation for the freedom that's taken for granted so much of the time.

when it's over and done with! i can not stand those stupid fireworks. i mean, by Navy Pier is fine, but idiots where i live pop those things off WEEKS before the 4th. by the time the 4th comes, i'm already pissed.

Just having a whole day off!! I love it right in the middle of the week , makes life a little eaiser :) Oh yes sweet Freedom.

The part where I nuke the neighbor's mobile home and strap 2 roman candles on my grandma's wheelchair.

No wait...that was last year.

I don't like it because I am Puerto Rican and the USA doesn't recognize our right to be an independent nation

I have some fireworks.... IN MY PANTS!

Seriously, I have some in my pockets and I'm going to take them out and light them. I didn't mean to say anything that was inappropriate.
