It was four years ago today ...
that I sat down at my computer and started the Votelaw blog. All those fireworks you hear are in celebration of that event. :-)
Seriously, I began this 4th as I have done many for a couple of decades -- listening to the reading of the Declaration of Independence by the folks at National Public Radio. One year I missed it because I was in England. That day, I had fun asking the Brits what they thought the American Revolution was about. One said, "It was something about tea, wasn't it?" Another said, "No taxation without representation."
What was the Revolution about for you?
