The 30th is pretty auspicious. I think we should hold a referendum. Who here seconds?

I second a referendum on 29th or 30th November as Independence day. However I have to admit to cherry picking events in favour of 30th. Biased reporting rears it's ugly head again.

So are we making an MHF independence day poll 2.0?

If so I am in for November 30th.
The 00:00 time is just too awesome.

The entrails also seem to indicate in favour...
