We live in a great country, that can be much greater. We're still King Baby, by far the youngest superpower ever, trying to work out governing ourselves and leading the world at the same time. More - we're trying to figure out who we are and what it means to lead the world at the same time. We're still growing and changing.
The thing about America that is both beautiful and terrifying, both simple and almost impossibly challenging: in order for this country to grow and change, her people have to grow and change.
So celebrate the Fourth by asking yourself some tough questions about what kind of American you've been, what kind you want to be, what kind of lives Americans who aren't like you are living, and what that means for you - personally and politically.
