http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/jul2004/cann-j03.shtml Coming up in a few days will be the "Fourth of July", in which American's like myself celebrate our nation's independence from British Imperialism. Eventhough I may not always like what America's leaders do, domesticly or foreignly, I do believe in celebrating the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Which has inspired countless others to likewise cast off the chains of oppression, and liberate themselves from tyranny. It is the promise of the "american dream" that all might have the opportunity to better themselves, and improve there society. We have not always lived up to our ideal though. There has been both discrimination, and exploitation of disadvantaged people, throughout our history. But we as citizens have the freedom and duty to change things for the betterment of all.
