Happy Independence Day! would probably be the more apt thing to say. Thank goodness for the people that fought for our freedom.
I'm on the side of patriotic. I really am, but probably not a really good patriot. Not that I think that a good patriot needs to never disagree with things going on in the country - that'd just be stupid. I mean good patriot in the sense that you're way into the history of the country and you know like how everything works in it - or at least as much as we're privy to.
Me? I suck at history (I barely remember my own); I actually hated that class the most and I can't name you the bigwigs that were integral in making the country what it is today. That's the sense in which I'm a bad patriot (probably horrible). But I'm an optimist when it comes to USA. I see the bad things and can only really hope that good things will come from them. I guess I just believe in the country and hope that the ideals that makes it great somehow come through in the end uncorrupted. (way optimistic right, but I dunno... it's the United States, one can only hope, right?)
Maybe that and the fact that even though I'm saying
"Happy 4th of July"
a part of me is thinking
"Happy birthday, Cap!" (ahem, Steve Rogers, not Bucky)
Unfortunately, it also brings me to sad thoughts...
he's reborn, but I haven't read the comic yet, so it's still sad for me.
But yeah. Happy Independence Day! and Happy Birthday! to anyone else born on the 4th of July.
