i know 4th of july was a while ago, but i just have to make the point that i really feel almost nothing when this day comes around. american history just isn't very important to the majority of americans. i look forward to seeing fireworks and that's about it. pretty much all the american holidays (like memorial day, labor day) are just seen as days off from work and nothing else.
