Australia is actually pretty cool, but you Yanks have certainly done well.

Most on the board will agree. It is not just the wonder views at many national parks, but the achievements we have accomplished. No other country has or has had anything like to space shuttle, missions to mars with multiple rovers for years at a time. The Hubble telescope, or companies like Microsoft and Apple. The multiple nuclear air craft carriers and submarines and the long retired SR-71. I have to wonder what we replaced the SR-71 with.

Not for a while now. And really, we seem more interested in saying we're the greatest country (and shouting down people that point out issues) and less interested in being the greatest country.

America is a huge country with gracious, friendly people and a kick-ass, take no prisoners attitude. If we choose to, we can tackle any issue. We will welcome you into our homes with open arms and feed you, even if you're a stranger.

We are also uptight, violent and angry. We will throw you in jail for any petty reason. The huge work we put into making this country what it is post WWII is now coming undone.

America is an anomaly. It is the exception in all of human history where tyranny has been the norm. We only wish other countries could have the same freedoms.

It isn’t perfect, but on BALANCE it is a good place.

And it’s fading away because we don’t remember where we’ve come from....

fading because we lose sight of the power of individuals living with liberty, and cling to the Hope of a big powerful govt to dictate minutia.

but that all starts to get PARFy (boo!)

Earth is the greatest planet in our solar system! I hope you agree.

Well, at least until us humans **** it up!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!
