The following is a direct quote from yesterdays newspaper in Bay City
Michigan...


"there are three main reasons I am proud to be a citizen of the u.S.A.
One reason is because of our armed forces. we will always be protected
on land air and water. I know if someone attacks us we will have the
better, faster men in our armed forces and always come out on top. I'm
also proud to be an american because of our freedom. this is probably
what I am most proud of. People inAmerica are not owned and we are not
slaves. We can do what we want to do as long as we dont hurt others.
we are entitled to the education that we want for the job we want. we
can also have our own beliefs and religions. The final reason I am
proud to be an american is our democracy. we dont have a dictator and
trhe people rule. Since the people rule we make the decisions. Those
are some ofht emain reasons I am proud to be an american. here are also
many others but these are the most important to me. This is why I think
AMerica is the best, safest, most fun country to live in.

Me too

Though I do find myself more and more worried about the state of our
country on a global scale. We need to re-work our foreign policy because
the 'yee hah I'm better than you little ****ers' mentality isn't really
working out so well for us at the moment.

when has it ever worked out? lol and yes I agre we do have a LOt of
work to do in our foriegn policy
