Even whe things are hard, celebrations are a reminder of the pride, joy, and love people find in a common purpose and identity. I read a couple of months ago an Octavio Paz piece on the Mexican Fiestas, the way they have been ritualized into the Mexican consciousness, and possible reasons for them. Highly recommended, although, I suspect you have alread run across it. Again, happy 199th anniversary! Happy 199!

No country in the world (especially not in these days) is a perfect place, so you're absolutely right to keep celebrating. What would be world become if we all just stopped celebrating the joys in life and only focusing on the bad stuff? Happy 199th anniversary Ben!
