I'm no history buff but it's my understanding Independence Day is something the U.S.A.
celebrates every year because;
They escaped the evil tyranny of their "bosses".
(AKA - the Brits).
And bosses don't come much nastier than Brits back in those days - just ask India.
Anyway - before this dives into a historico-politico-religious minefield let me smack you about the head with the point here;
Bosses suck....
