    A factoid I never knew until I Googled it: in at least one place in the US, George Washington's birthday (specifically) is celebrated (for weeks on end). Festivities include parades, fireworks, etc.; a possible precedent for some prominent US figure in future? - has POTUS Donald Trump already imagined the idea?:

    Note: Presidents Day, a US national holiday, is also based (perhaps more loosely) on George Washington's birthday:

    • That we are not part of nature. Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) comment explains.

    “Mankind is a cancer; we’re the biggest blight on the face of the earth.” “If you haven’t given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo Sapiens would mean survival for millions if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.”

    To the environmental extremists, "You first."
