The day is at hand, independence yes freedom. Now from what you say as a pirate I don't know. As a pirate I am free all the time. Others might need to be free from oppression or KINGS , OWNERS, JOBS or LIFE. As for me I am free I am a pirate. But a day to celebrate is always a good day.

As a pirate it some days all about the hat. Yes the hat.

Why is it when pirates go off to hide the treasure it is always some wild hike and difficult trail that has to have maps and codes and tattooed on ones back ? One would think that if you hide it well you would not need a map to find it, and if you died you could care less if someone else got it or not. When you find a good wench you don't hide her on some island and draw out a map where to find her again, you remember. Hey a good wench is a good treasure!
