That America may just not be the greatest country in the world anymore. This is a scripted, fictional, political debate. But the thoughts exposed hit a raw nerve with me, because most of them are true. In a real life debate, there are no politicians that would have the grasp of facts and figures quotes, and I won't answer any debate about whether all of the are in fact accurate. My point is the emotion and thought provoking point that is driven home by these few minutes. After the first two minutes of driving home the point, he pulls back and reminds us of WHY we were once considered the greatest nation on the planet. And what we can do to regain that position. A great moment in televised drama. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

According to Newsweek, you aren't even in the top 10. It's no big deal over where a country is ranked as long as the people living in that country are happy. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2010/08/15/interactive-infographic-of-the-worlds-best-countries.html I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

You can be lead, or you can lead. Life is full of choices. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |
