For instance, Holland was liberated from the Germans on May 5 1945, and now every year on May 5 there are celebrations throughout the land, but people seem to have forgotten what they are celebrating. You'll have to see for yourself what i'm talking about. This has nothing to do with Holland being freed, it's just another occasion to get drunk and stoned. It's better imo that people remember for themselves.

Similar happens down here- the 25th of March is Australia day- meant to be a celebration of when Brittish civilisation first moved here; but to practically everyone down here it`s just another public holiday.
