Today we celebrate the country that gave us the [[General Electric|lightbulb]], the [[Survivor (TV series)|television]], the [[Al Gore|Internet]], and the [[Twinkie]] (and, subsequently, the [[Twinkie defense]]); the nation that defines partisanism, but can get over it for one day per year; the country that houses one of the most [[Melting pot#United States|diverse national populations]] in the world and some of the [[NYC|greatest]] [[Washington, DC|cities]] [[Los Angeles|on]] [[Chicago|earth]]. |

It's the culture that brought you both [[Country music|country]] and [[rap]], [[Jerry Falwell]] and [[Bill Maher]]. It's well known for its cultural effects on the rest of the world, be it [[Michael Jackson#1982–85: Thriller, Motown 25, We Are the World and business career|good]] or [[Michael Jackson#1993–94: Sexual abuse accusations and first marriage|bad]]. It hosts some of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world and has the largest economy on the planet. It has yet to sign the [[Kyoto protocol]], but that's completely out of badass-ness ([[George W. Bush|just kidding]]). It gave us the [[movie|moving picture]], [[Walt Disney]], [[Coca-Cola]], and [[Neil Armstrong#First Moon walk|miscommunications]] from the [[Apollo 11|moon]] (in addition to a strong apathy for something called [[soccer|football]]..?). |

wadester16 
is taking a short wikibreak to celebrate his nation's independence. He will be spending his Fourth of July doing all-American things like eating heavily, drinking beer, lighting fireworks, and waiving his American flag in the face of anyone within arm's reach. He typically tries to keep his patriotism and Americanism under control on Wikipedia, but makes an exception for the Fourth.
Today we celebrate the country that gave us the lightbulb, the television, the Internet, and the Twinkie (and, subsequently, the Twinkie defense); the nation that defines partisanism, but can get over it for one day per year; the country that houses one of the most diverse national populations in the world and some of the greatest cities on earth.
It's the culture that brought you both country and rap, Jerry Falwell and Bill Maher. It's well known for its cultural effects on the rest of the world, be it good or bad. It hosts some of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world and has the largest economy on the planet. It has yet to sign the Kyoto protocol, but that's completely out of badass-ness (just kidding). It gave us the moving picture, Walt Disney, Coca-Cola, and miscommunications from the moon (in addition to a strong apathy for something called football..?).
It has done and offered the world some amazing things in its 223 year history. It comes with its fair share of caveats (cockiness is in our breed, sorry), but overall, I'd proudly call it a net positive (WP:RFA anyone?) and I am happy/proud/honored to say that I am 100% a born and raised American. Above right, enjoy my favorite Sousa march, and my national anthem. Happy Fourth!
↓ My first successful FPC nomination, getting its deserved spotlight for the day. ↓
