Yah, I know, writing about Independence Day on Canada Day ... I was actually thinking of this yesterday but didn't get around to posting about it ...

I was thinking about the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, and I was thinking of it as a celebration of pride in my country, and trying to decide how much I felt like celebrating this weekend since I'm not feeling terribly proud of a lot of the things my country has done lately.

Then I saw another way to look at Independence Day -- not as a chance to show how proud am of my country, but how glad I am to have my country. And I am glad that we have the United States, and I still have hope that much of the recent damage to ourselves at home and to our reputation and interests abroad can be eventualy undone. So I guess I have something to celebrate this weekend after all.
