Ours is a country with a troubled past, a discouraging present, and an uncertain future. But in the end analysis I could probably say that of just about every place on earth. And the rest of them don’t have college football or Fresh Air Barbecue or Otis Redding or Dolly Parton or OutKast or Johnny Cash or rooftop patios and cold beer in Athens, Georgia on a spring evening. So we win.
Everybody have a fantastic Independence Day. Feel free to let us know about your physically distant plans in the comments. Or drop in something that you like about America.
