As I go about my business around town and to various parts of the state and the country, everything looks so very different from the America I knew as a kid and young adult. Everywhere I go, people look weird. Girls in their early 20s with bright pink, green, purple or blue hair, have half their heads shaved, or their bangs cut straight across in a “bowl” cut that would have been embarrassingly ugly for even boys to have to wear when I was a kid.

And, a majority of the people I see now, especially younger people, are covered in tattoos. Many have their noses pierced, their faces and tongues pierced, and the style of clothing for young women today confuses me. It’s as if they either want to show as much skin as possible, even in cold weather, or they dress like vagabonds, having obtained their wardrobe from a Goodwill dumpster. It’s as if they want to look as unattractive as possible when they go out in public.

It’s equally sad to see young men these days. Today I saw a guy in his early 20s walking through a parking lot on his way to his car. He had long, dark hair and a full beard. He didn’t appear to be homosexual in any way, but he was wearing two large hoop earrings, blue jeans that were torn to shreds, and an expensive leather jacket.

And if you want to be “radical,” or “counter-cultural,” — should I say “set apart” from the crowd — how about studying the Word of God and becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ? Learn the history your teachers have hidden from you. Get equipped for the work of the ministry. Be a Christ-follower. Pray for someone or say the name “Jesus” in public. Young people, that’s more radical and counter-cultural than your purple hair and ripped jeans will ever be. Make your life count for something, and make it all about Jesus, not about you. You still won’t save the world, but you’ll at least save some souls. Being angry, hating America and God is definitely not working for you.

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.
