<<<We are the "standard of value." The others envy you when you are the "King of the Hill.">>>

I am an American. I love my country. This is where I choose to live. I would not consider living anywhere else.

However, in case you haven't noticed - the Euro is doing very nicely. Most cities in Northern Europe are much cleaner and safer than our big cities. Many Europeans have a higher standard of living - and most have better medical insurance.

I don't know about us being "King of the Hill" and if we are, I don't know that we are going to stay there. We do not seem to be going in the right direction.

In any case, I don't think many of them "hate us" because they envy us.

I am not a philosopher or theologian. I am not much of anything, but I just don't think there are philosophers or theologians that would subscribe to that.
