I never said anything july 4th by a tyrannical holiday. I said
it was a celbration of what little freedom from tyranny we have

front of it, where-as the part from my post has ': >>' in
front of it.

This is the only place in my post that mentions the word tyrannical,
and it was not in reference to the USA or the 4th of JUly.
