What is an American ?

An American is an individual who possesses the freedom to exercise intellectual elasticity. A person who when hearing the colors red, white and blue almost instantaneously brings forth from the neurological archives a picture of a flag swaying in the wind. Americans often express their patriotic sentiments by either loving the president, or being passionately opposed to the president, for in both cases one is being patriotic. More significantly an American can engage in making an opinionated decision without fear of immediate death as a direct result. Americans are as diverse as an ecosystem at the bottom of the sea, with a multitude of different colors and textures, but ultimately we are connected by the fact we are miles under the surface together, we can swim freely together, and as we idly swim in the vast open areas we can be eaten by sharks together.
