Independence Day

This last weekend I have come to the conclusion that I much prefer people referring to the 4th of July by its real name, Independence Day. There is a reason we are celebrating and lighting off fireworks. It is because the forefathers of our nation declared their independence from Great Britain in a move to establish a land of freedom. To me, it is along the same lines as calling Christmas X-mas. It takes the reason out of the title. So all in favor of making a more concentrated effort to call the 4th of July Independence Day signify with an Aye.
