Ladies and gentlemen - here we are. The 250th season of "America" is upon us.
Here's what we do the day after:
Two things:
Number one: Respond to this post with a 1-10 on "How great is America?" 1 being it's the worst, all hope is lost, 10 it's perfect, flawless.
Number two: Consider these (rhetorical) questions with regard to your answer.
1.) Why did I answer with the number that I did?
2.) What needs to change or needs support in America?
3.) What am I/ could I/ should I be doing (if anything) to improve my relationship with fellow Americans, and my idea of America at large?
4.) How much of my opinion is based on my experience vs. an agenda-driven manipulation campaign? What could I do that would help my answer be rooted in the former?
5.) Whatever you answered to that last question - do that.
It's something we think about often, but the topic of America feels as polarizing as it ever has to talk about. It's 4th of July weekend, a weekend where we celebrate Independence, and the freedom to pursue a better story. We believe in that pursuit.
Love you all,
-GFDD
PS- If you have a negative opinion of America and you haven't taken a road trip through it... we *highly* recommend it. ;) Ask us if you need recommendations. We know this land like the back of our hand.
