Be careful and enjoy your holiday.
My thought for the last Fourth of July holiday bears repeating:
"It is a remarkable characteristic of an enlightened state of public opinion, though resulting from the operation of obvious principles, that a greater degree of power may be introduced into a frame of government, which has its origin in the people themselves; and that this power may be exercised with less public excitement and discontent, than a similar degree of power under a system which has its origin in an irresponsible source."
John Adams Dix, Sketch of Resources of the City of New York (1827)
