I was out doing something yesterday and Neil Diamond's song America came on the car radio. For some reason, I found myself a bit weepy. I think what got me was the line "They're comin' to America" which got me. I truly do love America.
The Constitution says we are trying to "form a more perfect Union." They didn't mean America was perfect, nor is it. But we try to be better. Part of trying to be better is to recognize where you're not as good.
People who say "love America or leave it" miss that. Most people don't bother to criticize that which they don't like. We tend to criticize that which we like, in order to make it better. In sports, in life, if you want to improve you have to determine what needs to improve and then work on that.
Just my thought.
