More Memorizing! TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUT INDEPENDENCE DAY!

 This is apparently what I'm doing now.

    Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind. Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. 

    Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

    And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

    We're prepping to read an absolute shit show of a curriculum at school next year. (Fuck you, Kiddom!) Basically, they grab open source resources, run it through an AI scraper, spit it back out with more typos, then charge school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars for half finished lesson plans full of typos, missing resources, etc.

    One of those resources is something called "The Declaration of Independence". They couldn't be bothered to hyperlink it, so I Googled around and found the above speech. Obviously, that's the one they intend for me to teach. (I'll do the real Declaration too, this is just a bonus.)

So, what's going on here? What's the point of this speech?

1. President Lonestar wants all of humanity to come together. 

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. [...]

  And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice

2. He needs to get these pilots fired up for their requisite end of movie suicide mission.

 "We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

3. He needs to sell the studio on changing the movie title from Doomsday to Independence Day.

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Go get 'em, President Pullman!
