"The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world. We want and need to work with other nations. We want to find solutions other than killing people. Not in our name, not with our money, not with our children's blood." -- Molly Ivins (via Jone Johnson Lewis' collection of quotations on about.com)

To my countrymen and everyone joining us in our celebration: happy Independence Day! I am definitely the "America, love it enough to really want it to be its best and live up to its own ideals" type of patriot.
