On the Fourth of July

European-Americans celebrate
their independence from England,
so most African-Americans don't have to work.
They can spend the day
celebrating each other
and commiserating with, maybe even praying for,
Original-Americans.

Who are those original Americans ? Is there such a thing ? Are the original Canadians from Asia ?
And how sad for Canadians never to have an Independace Day.

OK, Jindra - PRE-COLUMBIAN.

The most evil empire which has ever existed doesn't have a National Day. Holland and Denmark have, I think, "just" the monarch's birthday, like Thailand, Japan etc. France has as fatuous a National Day as the US. I think the latter copied the former, but am not sure.

Canada has, I think, Dominion Day (?)
