Default Re: America's still the best

Although the US is split on who is the right person to run this country, most of us will agree that America is the best country in the world!

We are a strong country.

We are a beautiful country.

Our military can kick butt.

We are economically propsperous and compared to most of the world have a high standard of living.

On the otherhand....

We lock up more of our citizens than any other industrialized world with a lock them up and throw away the key mentality.

We are a harsh and brutish nation - epsecially to the minorites and those without.

We are a nation that just blinks at 40 million uninsured - many of them children.

Bottomline is; We are a great country. A powerful country. A beautiful country. But best? That depends on how one defines basic humanity. If you want to do that.... then we are only the country with the biggest penus.
