The American Pride

4:06 PM, Sarria (Galicia), La Bruja Bar

I thought I was sick and tired of people giving me a hard time for being an American. After arguing with Dan today about a lot of "stupid American things," I have decided that I'm even more proud to be an American, despite a lot of things that could be better. I'm also finding myself wishing that people would be more intellectual than "my country's (insert system here) is better than America's (insert same system here) because it works for me."

America's not perfect, but I wish the Europeans would just grow up and respect that different systems each have their pros and cons and acknowledge that their system is not inherently the best simply because it's theirs.
