Sam, it saddens me that you even have to ask this question in our country when NYC Democrats chose a Socialist to represent them in the election for mayor. The benevolent Socialist system always ends with indiscriminate killing of its citizens.

I ended my essay #3 “We are going to America“ with “I’ve been celebrating everyday like it is July 4th!” Many observe that Naturalized Citizens who emigrated legally from behind the Iron Curtain feel the same way. It was enlightening and most interesting to read historian’s John McCullough’s books starting with “John Adams” about building the Declaration of Independence and “1776” on General George Washington executing and delivering on it. Celebrate the 4th, y’all! 🇺🇸

You’ve taken Milosz’s great book “The Captive Mind” to the next level—well done!

As an aside, the boat in which Washington crossed the Delaware was made in the little village of Durham, two miles from where we live. There is a life-size replica of the boat on display in the village (and the Delaware River is also a couple miles away).
