Proud to be an American

Excellent essay today from sometime AmSpec contributor Patrick O'Hannigan, over at his site "The Paragraph Farmer."  It's a lengthy essay in which he argues that there IS an identifiable American character. Among many other insights, he writes: "Freedom and optimism seem indispensable to the American character." Well put. So is the rest of the essay. Go read it. Now.
