The official day when patriotic civilians get to express their freedom by lighting up a dozen of rockets made of
gunpowder and cardboard and watching them propel high in the sky, creating an atmosphere of a potassium nitrate-scented aroma. Originally fireworks were used to shoot down unidentified flying objects (
UFOs) when they usually fly around during the period of
July 4th before Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the delegates declared it as a national holiday. Remade into a hit movie starring Will Smith.
1: "The people from all across the country were firing their
rockets into the air!" 2: "It's because today is Independence Day, all them angry folks wanna piece of a
flying saucer..." 2: "Even though there is a one in a billionth chance that they would actually
hit one..." 1: "Lol, at least it gives Americans something better to do, other than killing themselves."
