in this thread, we will highlight why we are better AND why other places suck...

I love a lot about this country and feel very fortunate to have been born here (compared to MOST other places, but not all of them).  But if I could pick which country to have been born into, I'm not sure I'd pick this one.  Maybe I would have, but maybe I would have picked a country with less religious influence on government.

There's a good chance that I'll be staying in American full time, but I have to say that I'm glad I wasn't born here.  There are many aspects of my country and childhood that I would not have experienced if I grew up in the US that are invaluable, especially since I'm a minority in the US (but not at home).  In fact, I'm a little sad that my kids will have a completely different childhood from mine.  Not necessarily better or worse, but very different.

"I don't have to listen to you. You're a dog. You can't see colors. Which means you can't see the colors of the American flag. Commie."

Indeed! Could this dog even tell if the flag - may God forbid - was on fire???! Doubty

America rocks, I love it, and I truly feel blessed for having been born and raised here.

However I feel too few people treat American citizenship as the privilege it is, and take it for granted.  There's so much good we could be doing w/ our status and power that we aren't doing. 

We're not perfect, but I think we come damn close in many ways (given the constraints of reality).

Hey Denny.  How are things?
