re: #124 Gus

WHY ARE AMERICANS CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY BY SETTING OFF FIREWORKS WHICH MIMIC BOMBS AND ARTILLERY THAT KILLS PEOPLE!?? WARMONGERING NATION!!!!

[Goes back to building giant puppet.]

John Adams: “I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival,” he wrote his wife, Abigail. “It ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…”

(Bolding mine)

And yet, we discourage automatic weapons fire to celebrate the day.
