You'd better believe it!
Every time I got to get something out of my car's trunk, there is a little reminder. It is on my license plates - I have tags issued by the District of Columgia. They say:
"Taxation Without Representation"
On this day when we celebrate our break from England - and it was, um, taxation without representation that was the major issue - I noticed my this little reminder more than usual Enough to merit a blog post!
So, for those of you around the country who may be reading this, please remember your friends in the colony of Washington, DC who cannot write their senator or congressman when they are pissed about something. We don't have one!
But we do get fantastic fireworks, although this year I'll be watching the fireworks in New York's Central Park!

Patricia- It is time for a Boston Tea party- get them all out and start over again, maybe we can bring our founding fathers back from the dead:)
Pat: Hope you're having a great time in NYC for the 4th holiday weekend. Blog about it? Have fun!
I called my daughter today in the UK and asked how they were celebrating the day. Cough cough LOL. She had suggested to her husband (a kiwi) that perhaps he should wear red, white and blue to work but that fell on deaf ears. She does miss the 4th of July but since fireworks aren't illegal in the UK she can have more fun with pyrotechnics than we can at our pool. Go figure!
Pat, enjoy New York (if the weather holds up for you) and have a great 4th. Hope the fireworks show in Central Park is awesome.
Patricia,
NYC is great and we are never disappointed when we visit.
Have a safe and happy 4th.
I had a client a few years ago who said he wouldn't buy a property in DC if he had to get those license plates. I assured him he had the choice to not have them, but as you might suspect, he didn't pass the fun test and was quickly referred on.
The whole affair with DC residents not voting like everyone else in the country is such a horrible mess!!!!
