They inject a lot of romance and emotion into it, but really American independence and patriotism have only ever been about dodging taxes. Don't mistake any of it for faith or passion, it as transparent as it is one-dimensional.
WhatUwish4: The British. The Revolutionary War was fought to break away from them.
Love New Zealand, by the way! Very friendly people. Even if many don't care of America as a whole, the people there are very fun and welcoming. And we wish we could have your immigration policies, which are smart and simple. Sadly, if we tried them here, people would scream like banshees.
Kapai We actually care for many people as a whole. Enjoy our country. Respect, as we will you..
My friends have duly been respected over there in many places.

Pfft! So judgemental. Just out of curiosity, what makes you think you are qualified to speak for what is in the hearts and minds of Americans?
The 4th of July is to patriotism what Valentine's Day is to love. One of the Americans many and varied attempts to manufacture a soul, they are the original plastics Facebook didn't come from nowhere.

Considering the British have invaded more countries than anyone with the intent of taking over, your comment about lacking "soul" are really quite ironic. History shows that of the almost 200 countries in the world only 22 have never experienced an invasion by the British.
Really...l think you are just butt-hurt that America got away from your ugly clutches.,

Inthewoods, Yes, Peyton Manning made us here in Omaha famous during football games whenever he was on the field. When he looked over the defense he would "bark" out plays to his teammates and then yell "Omaha,Omaha." I always got a kick out of that. My daughter and her husband live in Thornton,Co.

WhatUwish4: That should be fun! There is lots to do there. If you aren't too claustrophobic, definitely visit some of the caves. They are spectacular!!!
As long as he does not take me to the Henry Doorly Zoo, I'm alright
