The 4th of July

Can someone tell me why Americans are constantly in need of a day off or even worse "a me day"? You people hardly work 40 hours a week and you sit on your bar stools and complain about how hard you've got it. I suggest you try searching for your food and shelter on a daily basis and then tell me how hard you've got it. I don't have to worry about those things, but there are plenty of other birds that I ignore that do. Whew, I realize that I got side tracked. I can't stand the dynamite in the sky. I hate the fourth of July and everything it represents. Dynamite, beer and burgers - disgusting and then you Americans wonder why you look the way that you do?!
