"OK, guys, one more thing. Hey, this summer when you're being inundated with all this bi-centennial, fourth of July, bru-ha-ha just remember what you're celebrating. That's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes."

EDIT: doesn't mean we still can't party

my family actually does this... we have a cookout at my uncle's farm where the "men" (and a woman or two) shoot shotguns, the children slide down a massive slip and slide (which is actually just a huge garbage bag), and everyone throws eggs at each other.

LOL.
