Our Declaration signed on a July 4th declared us so to be. And, dutifully, generations of Americans have believed we were and always would be. The late Michel Jackson even had us singing and thinking "We Are The World."

And yet, truth be told, we are more dependent than ever despite all the flag waving and bluster of our politicians.
