My first metric is size. 250 million plus. How many different races creeds colors religions do we have here that are made up of millions.

I cannot think of a metric that would disprove what I say.

If in other countries that are not so diverse, they have not demonstrated the living diversity of America.

From an article in national geographic, I believe America has 100 times the internet severs of the nearest country.

The internet is freedom to find the truth. Knowing the truth is how we find freedom. Well it is how you find what freedom is not.

I donot claim America is perfect, It's just America has the most informed because America has the most in-depth freedom to access of information.

America also has it's share of really dumb folks also, but they had the freedom to find out the truth.

Those Americans who cannot find the truth in America may infact be the dumbest folks in the world. That also falls out of the logic of what I proffer. But I believe in general Americans are the most informed and the fairest most tolerant.

Anyway, all the facts that Jacob posted were about the past and I was speaking of now. In my context they had little relevant meaning.

A fundamental debate issue is: Does America do it's own thing or should it be respectful of other's talk and no walk on tolerance.
