Happy Independence Day!
Although an American holiday, it’s one most can identify with–a celebration of gaining a unique identity.
Sometimes that’s identity is intensely national, political, cultural, or even religious, but always one of pride.
That’s why articles like this one in US News (and the referenced study) make me sad. It turns pride in our great Nation, pride in the remarkable vision of our forefathers, pride in the ultimate sacrifices so many have made into simple partisan drivel.
Maybe I’m just more sensitive as a temporary expatriate living in Italy.
Happy 4th of July America! Ciao!
