Celebrating OUR Independence
Quick, guess which holiday is the most dangerous date on the American Calendar?
For all of its pharmaceutically enhanced late-night shenanigans New Years Eve seems a likely candidate, but it can’t compete with Independence Day.
That’s right, July 4th (not to mention the six-day period encompassing July 1-6) is the most dangerous day in the American year.
While New Years Eve may feature the judgement impairing effects of alcohol and fatigue, Independence day combines under-supervised children, fireworks, recreational vehicles, firearms, and water sports with daylong celebrations featuring alcohol, extreme heat, and in-laws.
And this all happens before the Roman Candles make their appearance at sunset.
