rand
[actual name- not forum name]
[edit- but maybe you're saying something different than i'm picking up on
.. thanks to wiki, i now know nigerian currency is naira.. so i don't see how that's tying in] -
the National currency of South Africa? is it not Rand? like my name? anyway I guess that answers the question on whether you see my name and think money.
I understand now... you thought I was making a Nigerian Scammer Joke? no... I was talking about my last name.

Ah!
never noticed the Rand part. -
Barbecue comes from the Spanish word Barbacoa. The Taino Indians of the Caribbean called their style of cooking baribicu, however the Arawak Indians of the Caribbean also hung their meat from the green branches of the Bearded Fig (Las Barbadoes) to slow roast over an open fire. So take your pick of the origin of the name.

It's Bastille Day in 8 days. That's going to require some serious cooking.

We had a a typical 4th with BBQ and fireworks with friends. But as someone mentioned we did talk a little about the meaning. I think the legacy of the Declaration of Independence (and the Bill of Rights) is for all people (the Enlightenment just didn't happen here, the colonies just had the opportunity). Now Liu Xiaobo is in prison, like others, for supporting Charter 08, proclaiming the same unalienable rights. We should appreciate today's freedom fighters on days like this.
Charter 08
http://www.hrichina.org/public/contents/press?revision_id=89851&item_id=85717As we raised a beer, we also reflected how the right to the "pursuit of happiness" was not just a throw-away phrase for the revolutionaries.
