Holidays (Society & Culture) - July 2006

Holidays are more than gatherings and gifts; there is meaning behind the celebrations. How do you help young people understand the important gifts of American citizenship? Other than cookouts and fireworks, how do you celebrate with kids? Also, does anyone have any easy craft ideas for little ones?

Happy Fourth!

Why don't people celebrate the true meaning of Christmas anymore?

Do we think that these material possessions are going to be important forever, we could meet our maker at any given minute, we should be thankful for the greatest gift we've ever received through Jesus Christ.

Fourth of July plans?

Me, cookout with bourbon and honey shrimp, smoked ribs, Coke floats, a cake I decorated to look like the Easy Rider Captain America bike, and, of course, lots of fireworks.

Have you ever read the Declaration of Independence?

If not then here is your chance. If you have here is another chance to refresh your memory.

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies
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 bands 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.

—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Will you pick up after yourself this 4th of July?

I live on a beautiful stretch of beach on the Northwest coast. Every 4th of July this area attracts literally thousands of tourists. Supposedly they come here to celebrate the birth of our great nation.

What I don't understand is: why do they leave behind such a terrible mess? It seems kind of silly to celebrate your love for America by finding the most gorgeous spot you can, then defiling it with exploding trash.

If these people really love their country, shouldn't they pick up after themselves? It doesn't seem like too much to ask.
