The other day, I read a comment on Current.com where the attitude was, "Why are you complaining about America? America is still better than X-country, etc." It helped me to realize something. What makes America great is our courage in the face of adversity. It is our ability to stand up for what is right. As much as I respect other cultures, I think sometimes they do not realize that it is our "arrogance" that keeps our government in check. It is why we are the most free land and it is what keeps us free -- we don't put up w/ the bullocks!
A great speech follows Alex's rant. Get past the rant, this speech will bring tears to your eyes. I can't believe we did not learn this in school, or if we did, it was not emphasized.
When enough positive energy permeates every intention, the effect on the world will be overwhelming.
