"A statesman gains little by the arbitrary exercise of ironclad authority upon all occasions that offer, for this wounds the just pride of his subordinates, and thus tends to undermine his strength. A little concession, now and then, where it can do no harm is the wiser policy." - MARK TWAIN

Excellent statement in the cartoon, there. Happy 4th, anyway!
I agree, Shea. While we should all enjoy the freebie vacation day, bbq's with family & friends, and the firework displays that come with this holiday, we shouldn't forget to be thankful for the history that birthed this great nation we all love. Nor should we forget those suffering because of Bush's deadly farce.
Actually...
The first cartoon is inaccurate.
Most major American cities, statistically speaking, PROHIBIT firworks now.
Sad.

Gabe - I guess the number of news stories about people accidently blowing off their right hand will be greatly reduced this year.
sar- judging from the hundreds of ("illegal") bottle rockets going off in my neighborhood tonight, i'd say the emergency rooms will be plenty busy. :)
happy fourth!
Right you are, TLM.
I just love hearing you say that, sar!
Boy, you got off easy, my 4th posting seemed to have set up its own fireworks. All I can say is: Right ON!
TLM - I was, um, merely referring to your skewed political inclination. Yeah, that's it.
Sarafenix - Welcome, and right on back at ya, sister!
