everything that was ever good about this country and then they expect us to feel patriotic? I remember the bicentennial. No one told us what to feel, or the TV channels what to broadcast.

We were not long out of Vietnam and Watergate, and Civil Rights legislation was only about a decade behind us, so we had a lot of negative feelings, but I doubt they were even half as negative as we feel this year.
