I feel privileged to live here. I know the U.S. is not a perfect place.
We have provided opportunity for a great many people from a great many places in the world. Our sons and daughters have fought and died around the world in places where we had no strategic interest.
Our private citizens gave more money to the relief of the Tsunami in S. E. Asia than did the governments who talk smack about the U.S. and it's people.
We are the most tolerant, open, caring and forgiving bunch of people on the face of the planet. For that, we are attacked by social and religious fanatics who hate us for our tolerance and openness.
America isn't perfect, but ask yourself this. How many people risk their lives trying to sneak into North Korea, Iraq, France, Canada, or Mexico?
Our system of government, Representative Democracy, works pretty well. Almost everybody gets a say in how things are run, sometimes to our detriment.
We have had a few rogues and charlatans in power, but we have survived them and continued on, the stronger for it.
We have been forgiving and even generous to our enemies and loyal to our friends.
All things considered, I can't think of anyplace I would rather live. I am proud to say I am an AMERICAN. The colors are flying outside my house today. How about yours?
