It's not a contest. Wanting to be better is absolute...and we can be FAR better..we have been FAR better.... One of the problems with your posts is you don't seem to read the posts you respond to/about. Perhaps you ought to go and read what he wrote. What he was doing was talking about how America is not the best country. That's complaining. Not "yearning" for improvement. This is the reason many of us think liberals are anti-American. You'll side with the French, the Germans, the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Saudis, the Palestinian Terrorists -- ANYONE, but America.

He isn't "yearning for a better America" I bet my life that he is... Al, its hopeless.......his little mind is working within the very narrow confines of bias and nationalism. He's lost all ability of discerning between good and bad. -- he is saying it is not the best country in the world. Two different things. It's not a contest. Wanting to be better is absolute...and we can be FAR better..we have been FAR better.... The j@#$%$&$%s thinks that popularity is THE harbinger of quality. What he doesn't understand that all those people he talks about are running from poverty and disaster as much as running towards this country. In this world, every wealthy country world is beseiged by poorer people wanting to get in. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. ted
