"Question
Authority" was a dominant political theme in the '60s and 70s We're
talking about the 1760s and the 1770s, of course -- the American
Revolution. Well, sure, the 1960s and the 1970s, too. But our country
was founded on the idea "Question Authority" while opposing the King of
England in the 1760s and 1770s.
Over this July 4th long weekend, we are called to remember how good cheeseburgers and hot dogs taste when grilled outdoors in the backyard. Oh, wait. That's not it. Don't tell me; it will come to me! Hearty cheers to the family Grill Master, always. But there is more to July 4th than potato salad, chips, and sizzling hamburgers.
The Fourth of July -- more than any other holiday -- is supposed to be a celebration. From the very first July 4th celebration in 1776, it was meant to be a party. Our Founding Fathers wanted it that way, and said so explicitly. Unlike any other holiday, it was established to be a community-wide blast celebrating America's independence and creation as a new nation.
