[quote]Across America the Independence Day holiday is a time for grilling, fireworks, and parades. But how much is that an excuse to party - and how much is it a genuine display of patriotism?
It turns out most people in the US would say they are often proud of being Americans, according to data collected by the Pew Research Center.
But this pride often falls along generational lines, and many Americans still wonder if the country's best years are in the past.[/quote]

but how many know that other countries exist? it's really their medias fault to begin with. This had come up the other day when i was talking to some politicians. I think this is one of the reason that they seem to have so many problems with things like global warming. Since they believe they are the best, they don't think that they need to fix anything or improve. So even things that should be simple like funding bridge repairs meet so much resistance from one group or another
