Happy Independence Day to all of our viewers in the United States. I hope all of you in the states enjoy some time with your family with barbeques, fun at the park, and maybe a few fireworks as you wave the stars and stripes.
But am I wrong to hope that? There are plenty of people who say that celebrations like this are part of the problem.

In this episode, we will do our best to look at this question honestly, not only for Americans but with regard to every kind of national heritage across the globe.
