i’m proud of individuals in america and in every nation equally. i believe these so-called nations have a lot of blood-guilt and oppression to answer for, whether that be cuba, china, north korea, india, britian , france, or even america. all nations are guilty and don’t have much to celebrate over. if we can celebrate bombs bursting in air during a succesful guerilla war, what makes us different from the jihadists that celebrate 911? not much. history is written by the victors, but there is never true jaya .

none taken. keep in mind 1/3 of the colonists stayed loyal to the British, 1/3 were indifferent and 1/3 backed the revolution. the british were certainly more progressive than the new usa was evidenced by among other thing the outlaw of slavery by an act of parliament in 1831. (had the usa needed to rely on congress to outlaw slavery we may still be waiting.)

i am proud of our nation and think some men like hamilton and franklin were truly idealistic and brilliant. but others were manipulative and used revolution as a way to promote themselves.
