Kobe Bryant, a Voice of Patriotism and Appreciation

This is not to say we find perfection here. There is always room for improvement. Yet those who hate America lack the gratitude of what it has given them. They have been instilled with a sense of entitlement, not gratitude. If one feels entitled to perfection on earth one will be dissatisfied perpetually when reality falls short. This is not to say that we should not strive toward a better society. But human nature being what it is, there always will be imperfection.

I'm with Bryant. He says it well. Only someone who has attained his level of athletic perfection can put a Collingsworth in his place. I often have hoped that more stars would speak out as he did. I hope his interview will be repeated. Perhaps it will jolt a sense of reality in some of those who think America is always the problem.
