a lot of people think that the 4th of july was the day that america was created. FALSE. i like to think of it more as america's 18th birthday. it was the day we told our mother- england- that we could handle it on our own. our mother of course fought us, but we were emancipated and have been living quite well out by ourselves. now look at us. we're awesome. there's no denying that. and although our mother might not have always wanted to put our interests first, i know that she loved us. example: england is basically our closest ally. name a nation that we are closer to. oh, you can't? case proven.
alright, everything written above might be an example of the silly things i think. and i may often seem incredibly unpatriotic. but, i do love this nation. we have so many rights and freedoms. we have done so much good for the world. we are a land where speaking one's opinion is not only acceptable, but encouraged. we've made leaps and bounds scientifically, socially, and technologically. we might have many areas to improve on, but i still think that we are pretty sweet.
i'm grateful for this country and my part in it.
happy celebration of your 18th birthday, america.
