"The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epoch in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding Generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shows, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

  Yes, nitpickers, the Independence Day holiday is celebrated on July 4th and not on July 2nd as John Adams envisioned, but I think his sentiments were exactly right, and his exultation still resonates today.
  
  Happy Independence Day, everybody, and play some Atari this weekend. I think the Founders would approve!
