I don't really celebrate the 4th, honestly. It's hard for me to get all misty-eyed and patriotic over the independence day of a nation built on the backs of slaves and washed in the blood of it's native people. I have never felt I belong here.
That's because you are an american, not one of these.
- People who believe their “way of life” is under attack
- People who are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)
-People who consider themselves “anti-global” (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty)
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
