Lots of bashing going around on the board, but Americans can take it and we stand proud knowing that living in America, although not perfect, is still the best place to live on earth.

I've got some pork spare ribs slow cooking in the oven. I marinated them for a few days with Ken's Lite Asian Sesame Dressing & a healthy dose of Sriracha Chili Sauce, after the oven I will put them in the BBQ and smoke them for an hour or so.

btw, this American can still show some finesse, moxie and elan on the trails:

Have a great 4th of July.

Yeah, America is still the greatest place on earth, especially if we can incorporate lite Asian sesame dressing and Sriracha sauce in our Independence Day celebration.

Happy 4th. I'm soon off to my brother's BBQ.

PS: love the music in your video, desmond.

Yes, the USA have a lot to be proud of. As for being the best place on Earth, that's just a matter of opinion and there would be a lot of reasons to disagree. Personally, I think a little modesty would certainly not harm. happy 4th to everyone!

I'm generally happy to be in the top third, where possible, in my endeavours.

I'd suggest just reading even a little bit of the U.S. Constitution in celebration of July 4th.

what if the United States sold off the stars to corporations, and the corporation got to put its logo in place of the star? If we could balance the old budget that way, would you be in favor?

Anyone know if we would at least get our money back from the big bust last night?

Thanks brian, I turned my small Nikon 9100 camera into another hobby along with my riding. My next step is to get a GoPro Hero for some better action footage. Choosing the music is fun and can make the video somewhat watchable for others. Here's my latest which I thought the song was perfect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6yWD3j4O_k

Why would we want our money back? Last night's premature fireworkation was worth every penny. It only would have been better if it was synched to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M

Afx: Hey, hope you had a happy 4th. That movie, "Team America: World Police", should be required viewing in every grade school in America! Or, Amercia if you're a Mittens fan.

Good idea.

But first I'm going to wait 13 years or so, just to be historically accurate.

And I'm only going to read the parts that mention Jesus. Because those are the only parts that matter.
