Default Re: What are you proud of as an American?
BUT, there are lots of things we have to be proud of as Americans.

Personally, I can only be proud (or ashamed) of things *I* do personally.

I mean, I respect the US Constitution and think it is a great document, but I didn't write it, so how can I be proud of it.

I think Hemingway and cummings are cool, but feel pride? I don't get it. Those guys were Amricans for the same irrelevant reason I am - an accident of birth.
