I hate the 4thFollow

If you are grateful for all those people dying in the Revolutionary war, then be grateful for all people in history who have somehow changed your lives. That means the Romans, Greeks, Persians, Socrates, Cyrus, Edison, Einstien, Marconi, Darwin, etc. etc. etc.

The "Shot Heard 'Round the World" is the term given to the walk-off home run hit by New York Giants outfielder Bobby Thomson off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds to win the National League pennant at 3:47 p.m. EST on October 3, 1951.

The shot heard around the world is originally and most known for the beginning of the American Revolution, in Mass. Just google the phrase.

that would have been an awesome thing to get on tape

****, Ambrya, blame your troubles on the Messicans, girl. They're the ones who made the darn things and sell them to impressionable pre-pubescent males to light outside your windows in the wee hours of the morning. Whatchoo getting all mad at boys who have no control over what their bodies make them do? Boys are the ones who experience a near-narcotic high when blowing things up. Boys are the ones who have an instinctive and insatiable desire to destroy things. And boys are the ones to whom these nefarious devices are marketed, nay, pandered to.

As a woman, how can you possibly understand the inner turmoil a young man struggles with when the law is so clearly anti-boy by denying him his God-given right to keep and bear fireworks on a day when you should be celebrating his youthful exhuberance and love of Mom, loud noises, and apple pie? Are you so far gone in your Commie loving liberalism as to be out-of-touch with the average boy and his need to explode small ordinance?

Blame the Messicans! They're the ones who placed those fireworks in their little Bic lighter wielding hands.
