July 4th - Indifference Day

Once a year, on this very day, the remnants of the United States celebrate their independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Although much as been bandied about as to when the Declaration was officially signed, signed it was by: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Ben Franklin. Pomp, circumstance and celebration were to follow every year on this day beginning in July 4, 1776.

Fast forward to July 4, 2011.

Much has changed in this country since that historic day. Not the least of which is the "cultural" makeup of this country. Many of the newly empowered "cultures" possess no culture at all - other than a hell-bent desire to replace your culture with theirs. Sharky&Sharky can no longer turn a blind eye to this trend, and as such have decided it is time to suggest changes to the traditions that until now have represented the Fourth of July.

Let's eat GOAT. Goat is the mainstay of peoples from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Goat is slaughtered in the tradition of Halal, or what is lawful to eat, in the Muslim world. Got that? WHAT IS LAWFUL TO EAT! Break the law and off with your head - an example of the changing culture of the U.S.

Gamel Zayed, an Egyptian Muslim who "moved" to the U.S. in 2001 surely likes what he sees regarding the increased demand for his Halal goat meat. Operating Badr Halal Farms in Shannon, IL., Zayed has seen demand for product skyrocket in recent years. Originally processing 100 head of animals in 2004, Badr Halal Farms now goes through 500 - 600 head a week. Sharky&Sharky are certain a sizable portion of the meat is used to produce Goatbugers and Goatdogs which will become the traditional foods consumed during future July 4th celebrations.

Let's ban FIREWORKS. Everybody knows who invented fireworks - that's right those nasty Chinese - you know the ones who now own much of this country. Each time fireworks are ignited a new Chinese millionaire is made. Fireworks cause burns, wounds, death and start fires. It is difficult to imagine, with the U.S. fear of a bogeyman behind every rock and the likelihood that a child will not be safe, that fireworks are still a large part of the of July 4th celebrations.

Let's change the COLORS. Out with the Red, White and Blue that use to signify the Fourth. In with the Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange and Red - the terrorist threat level colors. We know terrorists exist in every nook and cranny in this country. Just try to board a commercial aircraft. Almost every person in this country is now considered a terrorist if you are not a Muslim - even infants. Along with the never ending liberal reminder of the racial divide between Blacks and Whites, it is time to adopt the new true U.S. colors - maybe even rethink the American Flag.

p.p.s. According to a recent Marist poll, one in four "Americans" do not know from what country we declared our independence and only slightly over one-half know the year. How's that for cultural change?
