July 4th in Claremont is spectacular in so many ways. Not only do we get to celebrate with the community at Memorial Park, but we get to watch a parade or participate in it, if we so choose. I don't think many places will have the wide variety of parade entries that Claremont has nor will they have the loving acceptance these groups get from the onlookers as the various groups express their heartfelt concerns about world and national political, moral, & ecological conditions and situations. Then, you can go to any of a variety of fireworks events in the surrounding area or just listen to the "booms" as you watch on TV the amazing displays from Washington, Boston, and New York. The music is great and the people are obviously having a great time. One question we might consider is this: in today's world, what else could we do with all of that money spent on those fireworks?
