The Birthday of a Country

So, as the USA celebrates another birthday, I wanted to share with you some of the thoughts that went through my head when I saw the above sign:

(1) Really? That doesn’t seem likely. How about all those other countries who gained their own independence from the British Empire … just like the US did?

(2) Have they not heard of Google? Surely people should research these matters first …

(3) Do people in other countries put such silly ill-informed, quasi-patriotic signs on their businesses?

(4) Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light …

    On the other hand that does sound like a pretty good afternoon
