Pretty good stuff. When I was younger I had a deep sense of the principles my country stands for, freedom, justice, and liberty for all. I wish I could say I still felt as deeply that allegiance to this nation is allegiance to these profound principles. Perhaps let's a matter of leadership - Kennedy and Reagan, for example, inspired a view of what our country stands for that was much different from what Clinton and Bush personify.

Older now, having seen where our country has headed in the last twenty years, I feel less for the country itself and more for the principles it was founded on, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
