“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right..."![]()
(These are times that try men (and women's) souls. But this country has survived wars, revolts, military attacks and political scoundrels and will do so again. We are facing a humanitarian crisis along our southern border, a raging pandemic that is killing our fellow citizens, and the drums of war can be heard all over the world.
We have a president who thinks the glory and pomp of democracy is something to hold over people's heads like a bludgeon and that his kind are entitled to form an overclass over the rest of the American rabble.

Nonetheless, we all believe we live in the greatest country in the world. And if our forefathers hadn't believed it, they wouldn't have come. We include our annual tribute to this nation below. Let's set it right.)

But it's all right, it's all right
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
American Tune
Lyrics by Paul Simon
Music by JS Bach
We come on a ship we call the Mayflower,
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come at the age's most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest,
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest...
