Celebrating The Birth of a Nation
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds 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."

Across the great nation of the United States of America people everywhere celebrate the freedoms that they enjoy, the history, government, and traditions of the United States with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events.

Most of the time, July 4th was not a big deal at home. The roads were full of drunk drivers. He was never invited to parties, and probably would have skipped them anyway. He still doesn't drink, and doesn't need to eat - even if some of the things around smell pretty good. But for the most part, he and mom stayed home and watched the fireworks, and called it a night.

Not this year. He's made arrangements with the city council - out on the water, Titans Tower is going to be the site of one of the country's most spectacular fireworks displays once dark hits - streamers and whirls and explosions of yellow and violet from the rings on his fingers, waves of purple magic, illusions of all sorts - dragons cascading through the skies, weaving amidst the explosions, eagles in jet-fighter style formation and stunt flying over the city. Trick arrows from his quiver explode high in the sky.

And all around the tower, the water dances and shifts, odd wave formations and walls of water glittering and dancing with the light reflections from above making the sea every bit as impressive a show as the skies above.
