I wish that Independence Day observations didn't center so much on triumphal celebrations of militarism. The least flattering qualities of the Unites States are on display when we march out representatives of the armed services. Everybody's got an army, but nobody else has a constitution that's like ours. How about, instead of a recital of the Pledge of Allegiance we have a dramatic reading of the Bill of Rights?
