    In honor of this great day, share some of your favorite quotes pertaining to the title of the thread. Here is my first contribution:

    "Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

    -President Whitmore from Independence Day

    An awesome movie and I've already watched it today.

    Joe Dirt: So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no black cats, no Roman Candles, or screaming mimis?
    Kicking Wing: No.
    Joe Dirt: Oh come on, man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
    Kicking Wing: No, I don't.
    Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?
    Kicking Wing: No... because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.
    Joe Dirt: Well that might be your problem, it's not what you like, it's the consumer.

    We hold these truths to be self evident that not all men are created equal. That we are endowed by our government with certain inalienable rights. That among these are free healthcare, free housing, free food and the comfort of gaining from those who work without providing anything of value to society, or even providing for our own families from our own labor. That to secure these rights, we will bind together in collective worthlessness and elect representatives who vow to steal on our behalf from those who have proven superior in terms of work ethic, common sense, ambition and commitment to abide by the law.
