US has been a frame of reference to which people would turn. It has been a carefully crafted image to have a worldwide appeal. Similar case I can see only Germany re-inforcing the myth of German technological prowess. I recall black people in Nigeria longing to have a life the American negro had. The Indian, Filipino longing to be an American engineer working for the IT industry. The young kid dreaming to become a movie start or rocknroller. But what this people see is the green grass out there. I use to joke that the green card scheme has that color to allude to the people atraction for the green grass. The US has capitalized in that image since it would be difficult to maculate the Hollywood-propelled machine. But I think they overused it and now people are not buying the Dream anymore.

The world should be grateful to what the US did. But now it is no longer a positive force.

Wife plant at the backyard and can't eat all. It grows too fast and too big. Experiment gorging on watermelon juice.
