We have a contingent of our guild from there, so they wished us happy canada day (Vancouver, mississippi, and ohio, how do those fit together, NO IDEA)Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653252976648480240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-89275608645212853272009-07-04T08:29:32.175-05:002009-07-04T08:29:32.175-05:00Little known historical fact: That was actually an...Little known historical fact: That was actually an early attempt at large-scale water treatment.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-1624329168609231722009-07-04T00:03:02.245-05:002009-07-04T00:03:02.245-05:00Well one's thing for sure.

It's...@All: You've helped to enlighten me. It's fascinating how something as simple as a day off (and of course all the added pieces of celebration) is created by such traumatic history. It's almost sad to think that we celebrate huge wars; we'd be horrified if someone tried to start a holiday to commemorate the hour that police secured the school at Columbine (it was an infamous site of an attack by students in the 90s, very tragic).<br /><br />@Stabs: It's hard to imagine, the whole world would be different. I wonder if there would have still been the idea of Manifest Destiny. If so, I imagine it would have captured even more due to the added inspiration (or lack of setback) of already having Canada. Given time I wonder if the UK would have 'flipped with the American 'colonies' becoming so much more powerful that political power shifted to the other side. Maybe that's not so different than what happened anyway.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-84962368869077276062009-07-03T06:37:15.346-05:002009-07-03T06:37:15.346-05:00South Africa has it's own fair share of holday...South Africa has it's own fair share of holdays. 16th of June being the most recent (Youth Day).

Or even more simply it's so hard to conceive of an alternate history where the rebels lost the American War of Independence that we don't know what we're missing.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-66113730924161853282009-07-03T04:17:58.238-05:002009-07-03T04:17:58.238-05:00Most English people are at least aware of 4th July...Most English people are at least aware of 4th July as so much of our tv and films are American.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-67272410082660526302009-07-03T01:57:22.270-05:002009-07-03T01:57:22.270-05:00You have a 4th of July there too?

But it has never become any big success. The celebrations can in no way compete with for instance Norway (May 17) or France (July 14). I've got a theory, that the intense of the celebrations is related to at what extent you've been involved in huge, traumatizing wars.<br />We've been lucky enough to stay out of that for hundreds of years.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-79002647713977107652009-07-03T00:36:27.699-05:002009-07-03T00:36:27.699-05:00Nah, we don't really care about the 4th July, ...Nah, we don't really care about the 4th July, although you can use it as a good excuse to have an American themed barbecue or something.
