Anyone feeling anxious or ashamed on this upcoming Independence Day?

I am.

1. Not ashamed.This whole thing is fascinating. But a teensy bit anxious maybe.

I expect everyone's on high alert of one form or another.

2. Yep. Also worried. nt

3. No

It's a strong reminder of what our founding fathers faced. A mad king who was power mad! They persevered and so will we

4. Kind of hoping for an alien invasion to sort this shit out.

I know it's a long shot, but "desperate times", yadda, yadda, yadda...

5. Hell no

Those fuckers aren't what this country is all about. The 4th needs to be a day where we throw it back at them even harder.

6. I'm feeling anxious

My husband wants to spend the day with his family. While most members are great people, one of his brothers in law is a right wing religious fanatic. I do everything I can to avoid him which means sometimes I have managed to skip family get-togethers. This will be the first since their mother's internment so I'm getting more pressure from my husband to attend.

Add to that factor I am not feeling great and have little endurance and we have to drive three hours to get to the event. So six hours of driving, a long afternoon of socializing, then my husband was talking about going to the fireworks show and I HATE fireworks. Yes, I am a grump. Everybody else would have more fun without me there.

7. NO!

Never have and never will.
