America

I wanted to say that I love my Country. It's not perfect, we've made some mistakes, some big ones, but for the most part we've learned from those mistakes. Taking a look at America's history we can see that if a whole country can make great changes, so can an individual.
Think about slavery- America didn't start it, but put an end to it. We moved away from the false traditions, and beliefs of our ancestors and created a new way of living, while keeping their good traditions and beliefs.
Women, for hundreds of years, were considered to be less than men, to be unintelligent, and weak. In 1920 women gained the right to vote in America, after years of many brave, and amazing women fighting for it, and suffering for it.
During WWII we put innocent Americans into camps, because their "blood brothers" in Japan attacked us. But we learned that this was wrong; when September 11, 2001 occurred we did not repeat that mistake.

America has led the world in liberty and freedom for all.

These are just a few examples of the changes that America has made. I hope that if we do need to make changes that we won't change in a way that would hinder us, but will be as progressive as the above changes were. When making changes we need to be very careful. We need to be sure that we do not deny anyone freedom, even for the sake of doing something that sounds good. We should study out the consequences of what we want to do; just because we do something with good intentions doesn't mean good will be the outcome. As America is facing some major turning points we should not rush to make a decision about anything, as good as it may seem to be. We need to slow down, and be wise, or we may undo all that our Fore Fathers, and I would add, great women, have done.
As I said above, I love America, and I will always Pledge my allegiance to this country, to the Constitution created by our Fore Fathers, and to the Freedom and Liberty of anyone, anywhere.
