over react with patriotism and constitutions, rights and stuff!
The patriotism I get to read in here is largely intolerance of people of other nations and so much complaining that it seems to cause more unhappiness than joy. The constitutions written in the 18th century are just words on sheets of paper that with the natural inclinations of ambitions, greed and power seeking of men, it could hardly be ever truely lived up to anyway.
America is no more free than Britain, France, Germany, Italy or any other developed democratic nation. America has it's problems like any other country. How about accepting that America is not the biggest, best, loudest, most amazing country in the world but a valued friend, neighbour, partner to other nations. Perhaps a little humility will bring more joy than a lot of puffed up pride.
Maybe you are thinking I am missing something, I will be glad to read your thoughts on this.
