obvious product of modern day school system

it's typical of someone lacking in a background in actual history. the demise of the public school system in their blatant lack of teaching our nations great history and how we came to be where we are. the fireworks display is a reminder of the battle in which francis scott key observed and inspired him to write his famous song. notice the lack of this in the article. and a special note of the second to last paragraph....the writer can't understand how a couple would watch the fireworks instead of rolling around in bed. i'm sure he also knows every single tidbit of the tart paris hilton's antics. sad, a mindless spectrum.
