    On that date so long from now a passenger airplane was shot down by American forces killing 290 civilians inthe Persian Gulf.

    For Iran, it's a day of remembrance and almost nationalized mourning, as well as the other countries who lost men, women and children on that flight. For America it is our time to pick up last minute fireworks in preperation for the 4th of July.

    I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm only saying that if we are ever going to grow as a country we must appreciate and remember our failures and evils as much as we must celebrate our victories. There is no other way.

    Oh, that seems a silly viewpoint. If we remember all the evil we have done, how will we have time to do more?!

    Well, I'm not saying weigh yourself down and be mopey about the pass. Just note it, like we do for other events. It's important to remember your shortcomings, as that helps you know how to do more better.

    Perhaps we celebrate too much and repent too little.
