It's certainly enjoyable to go to a 4th of July celebration, which I did. But then I got to thinking (as did the writer of the above linked article) that most folks spend very little time considering what made/makes America different from nearly every country on earth.
All elected officials, appointees and bureaucrats are servants of the people, and not vice-versa. All kinds of taxes and fees charged by the govt must be approved by the people's representatives and those revenues must be used judiciously and accounted for clearly.
It's not the dirt, or the beautiful scenery, that makes America a better place to live. And it's not the mighty military that actually protects it.
Learning and teaching the principles of true independence and democracy are the key.
