My name is Joycia Fireroze, and I am a 16th generation American. Five hundred years of every native and world flavor blended into my DNA woodpile, which makes Independence Day my ethnic holiday. To separate my story from America's seems impossible to me, for democracy a way of life for me, not an affect. Bottom-line, I am a humble and obscure American citizen, but I am a real American. (Are you?)
My job is, “Ringing bells, rocking boats, and raising awareness,” as spokesperson for the American Spirit.

What America means to me Tags:
Our understanding of world events is based on information provided by the media, government, and historical accounts. Capitalism, media monopolies and a strong military industrial complex within our democracy provide fertile ground for corruption and propagation of untruths. How do we determine which "stories" are based on fact and which ones are propaganda intended to sway public opinion?
