Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
As I so eloquently stated, 4th of July is really a holiday for everyone who values the rule of law!

No bites yet Xietor? 
Oh yeah what about us Aussies! 26th of January, for everyone who values the rule of *insert typical Australian stereotype here*. |

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
I think most people like Fosters Lager. If you can find out when the brewing of the worthy beverage commenced, we could do some sort of honorarium.

Continuing about women of the various nations
MA Ulm certainly has women. How many, though, is unknown; they, like the rest of Ulm's population, spend their time in suits of armor that cover pretty much everything. For all we know, every Black Knight currently serving Ulm is female. For all we know, actually, every MA Ulman in the army could be a woman (Ulwoman?). The world may never know.

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
Personally, I prefer to celebrate the overthrow of the rule of law on Bastille day. During the 10 days between July 4th and Bastille day, I ceremonially refrain from commiting any felonies.
Then, out comes the Guillotine!

Yeah, it means "every male." E.g. 2 Kings 2:9, 1 Sam 25:22, 34.

To me personally the 4th is much more than our freedom from the British, who I now view as our closest friend.
The 4th stands to as a monument to the Rule of Law, where the individual has the right to life, liberty, and property, that cannot be deprived without due process of law. And that right is one the United States has tried to safeguard for all humans. We opposed Nazi oppression and South Africa's former regime, to name a couple of worthy causes.
Obviously the United States has not been perfect in its pursuit of this goal(thanks George W Bush), but we have over the course of our history done much to further human rights worldwide. At least i like to think so. And it is in this spirit that we celebrate the 4th of July.

Ditto on both points. I was pretty hostile to Britain as a kid because of the whole War for Independence thing, but as I grew up I realized that was silly. Britons are our cousins. 
Yay for America and all our friends!

Re: Hinnom goes back to sleep
Personally, I'm hostile to the Britons for sending all these knuckle-dragging misogynistic Americans over here. Double thanks for the puritans, you bastards.

I wish they could heal their rift with the Hobbes'ists.  |
