Let's be careful. I lived abroad for years. America is unique ...


and for the most part, a great country with obvious flaws. Fortunately, we have a Constitution and underlying principles to correct those flaws ... even if slow going.

America is one of the few countries where citizens go out of its way to help strangers. Strangers ... not family or close friends. That is uniquely American and an incredible trait. We also promote non conformity .... which is for the most part good, but terrible in a pandemic.

Unfortunately, like every country, we also have our share of stupid people ... further exposed by social media. Thus, we are not immuned by demagoguery. Proving that IGNORANCE is the greatest threat to the American way.

America's always been GREAT (at least relative to other countries) with admittedly, obvious flaws. Thankfully, America allows us to be better ... to evolve ... to be better for all people. Don't believe Donald Trump's bullshit. He wants Americans to devolve.
