Let’s celebrate July 4th because every American lives in the most profoundly fortunate “essential country” in the world. America’s Constitution remains the hallmark for governance on this planet. Every citizen enjoys the freedom to chase his or her dreams, live their lives in peace, and succeed in hundreds of lines of work, play or choices.

Every person in America—-black, white, brown, yellow, or red, might kneel on his or her knees and thank their lucky stars to be living in America.

At the same time, recent polls show 82 percent of conservative Americans love America. An appallingly 64 percent of liberal Americans condemn America. A growing number of youthful Americans hate America. That same group demonstrates against America, spits on Old Glory, burns the Stars and Stripes, and generally shows their unpatriotic feelings toward their own country.

The question grows: where would you move to enjoy a more satisfying, fulfilling, and happy life? Perhaps North Korea? If you spit-on or burned their flag, you would be executed on the spot. You would live in poverty without choices your entire life. What about moving to Communist China? You would be executed in a heartbeat if you challenged the CCP dictator. You would live among 1.4 billion people, massive pollution, and few choices. What about moving to Russia? You would immediately be conscripted into the Army to fight and die in the Ukraine war.

What about moving to India? You would suffer polluted water, polluted air, scant food, lack of education, rivers that run like sewers to the sea, and 60 percent of Indians lack a toilet let alone water purification systems.

For the record, about 4.0 million children die annually of starvation around the world. Another 8.0 million adults die in horrible poverty, annually. Millions of people teeter on the brink of starvation and horrible living conditions. Even the 800,000 homeless in America can tap into food pantries and food kitchens.
