Not much needs to be said! We Rock! From making Global Trade feasible to being willing to send our own to fight and die to protect other nations, or to safeguard the lives of survivors from major disasters man made or natural, and solving many medical issues around the world. :D
No nation is perfect, everyone has a bad history without exception but all in all, we're doing alright and people ought to be thankful. Some nations prosper very well, and yet have practically no military and they have us to thank for it.
You know, we are a melting pot of cultures and people from around the world United in certain Ideals, and those ideals have brought us far and wide one of the most effective Nations in history at wealth. Despite how people think the poor are treated so badly and need help, which they do by the way by OUR standards, take a moment and reflect on the fact they have medical care, access to clean water, and can find food, and help. That in and of itself makes them better off than some other entire Cultures.
We are not perfect, the ACLU for example put many people with Mental Health Deficiencies on the streets without the help they need, and the homelessness has greatly increased and become a major issue for it. That is not to say the ACLU wasn't correct in that, they have rights too. It's a complicated problem Legally in our Country, but one people in general care about personally. Sadly they keep voting blindly for 'to help because we care' and yet votes for people whom do nothing to help them on purpose, just to pocket money.
Yes we are not perfect, but take solace in that our corruption pales in comparison to Communistic Corruption. ;) Huh, that was a bit of a side tracked ramble... my ADHD kicked in. :P AHEM!!!!
