I'm not exactly the most patriotic person in the world (probably not second either). I, unlike many Americans, will not blindly be proud of something because I'm expected to be. But that doesn't mean that I don't like living in the United States—I do. To put it simply, I don't like the country enough to feel proud of it. There are some historical moments I'm proud of (and some that disgust me)—but I'm talking about the country in its present state. Watch the television, go on the internet—the country is in a pitiful state for many reasons. Anyways, that is not the point of this blog post; in the next few hours it will be the 4th of July, and so will come another celebration filled with fireworks (which symbolize body-dismembering explosives). Hopefully, in time, we become known for something other than being good at war.
