18. I don't think the 250 Anniversary will be given any more thought in the future as it is today

Nobody but Trump and the media are talking or thinking about it and once its over and Trump and the media shut up about it no one will ever think about it again. Like it never happened. I remember the 200 Anniversary and it was special. Partly because it was all inclusive and not a narcissist vanity event, and because before that we didnt have to have a big celebrations at every minor milestone in time. We could have lived just fine with a 200th anniversary celebration and then a 300th. Make it a once in a lifetime event.
