I find it curious how many people can bash this country...completely ignoring all the good we do around the world.
What other country has hosted the Olympic games multiple times and has had athletes standing in line to defect to the USA? I would wager that will not be the case in China.
Count your blessings...even when times are tough. Paraphrasing Dr. Schuller with the Crystal Cathedral..."Tough times never last, but tough people do."
A final thought for today...I had a button some years back that said:
"Remember, the word American ends in I can."
