And as we all know, when the Continental Congress was debating the final text of the Declaration of Independence just before voting on its adoption, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin were off attending to truly important business, to wit, selecting an appropriate National Bird. :mrgreen:

Happy Birthday... I mean Happy Independence Day - to all our American members. Enjoy your hot dogs, fireworks, pumpkin pie, ice cream, or whatever else you're doing or eating.

For those who don't like loud noises - enjoy a quiet 4th with your favourite special interest!
