After 3000 years, the geographic location is not important.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said in the speech the day before he was assasinated:
“But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop … I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land”
从清教徒的第一个感恩节讲到Shining City on the Hill的清教徒理念，讲到Ronald Reagan。我希望把美国特殊轮（American Exceptionalism）深深印到他们的心底。
为美国而对上天感恩，感谢上天在地上建立这么一个exceptional的国家，给黑暗的世界带来自由民主的亮光！
没有美国，万古如长夜！
我们这个感恩节聚餐。她特别开心地说，这才是美国。她喜欢我们这样的多文化组合的朋友圈。我很喜欢和这个老太太聊天。昨天大家都穿得很漂亮，就是这个老太太穿着很随便。但我觉得她最可爱。打算办个元旦派对再把她请到我家聚餐。我以后老了也要这么和年轻一辈交往。我感觉她老公能接纳我朋友这样的多国朋友圈和这个非常open的美国婆婆有关。
"A republic, if you can keep it."
美国已经不再是那个英雄无论出处, 只要努力不放弃就能圆美国梦, 人人平等言论自由的梦之国了。
跟同事们聚餐聊天的时候发现所有族裔都是这个看法，每次我看楼主的帖子都在怀疑我们是不是生活在一个国家。
