[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3389066, member: 26737"] So, instead of celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, you're saying the 13 original states should celebrate it on the days they ratified the Constitution, and the rest of us should celebrate it on the day our states were admitted into the Union? I guess that would work out well for the former Confederate states, as they'd get the day they ratified or became states, plus the day where they were returned to the Union. Not sure where that leaves Oklahoma, though--do we only get November 16th, or do we get that plus June 23rd (to commemorate Stand Watie's surrender)? Maybe we should get a day for every tribe that surrendered and got relocated to the Nations. Hell, I bet we could get out of work for half the year that way! [/QUOTE]
