That's going to be tricky. How are you defining American?

I just had this conversation with a couple of kids who recently received their American citizenship. I told them, flat out, that citizenship doesn't make you an American.

But, the caveat is, it's actually easy to be an American. All you have to do is say, I'm an American, the USA is the best place to live, and I just want to be left alone to run my own life.
