Re: OT: Happy 4th
True, that was the first fighting, but the 'official' beginning of the actual war was when the Declaration of Independence was signed. At least, as far as I know. I'm not American, so my American history is a little vague.
Though that's a rather moot point. I just find it ironic that the 4th of July is celebrated in the United States as a great past national achievement, yet it is essentially celebrating the beginning of a war that killed hundreds of thousands. It must be the only time that the beginning of a war is celebrated, not the end.
