With all our problems. All our faults. Even all our inflated egos. We give more pet capita than any other to other countries. Not the government's gifts, private donations. People still come here from all over for a chance to be rewarded for their hard work like no other country will allow them to be rewarded.
Racist? Sure. Bigoted? Many. But I thrill to watch the US in the Olympics as it is one of few countries you cannot determine by race. Will the rest of the world be worse off when we fall? By that time, probably not. We have already outlived most government's and are a bit long in the tooth. Sure, others have long histories and the same names but not the same government's. I am proud to enjoy it while it lasts knowing nothing ever stays the same and that no matter what I want or do I have no control over it. My grandchildren, if I am so lucky, will have a completely different America to live in than I did from my grandparents. Most of that is likely to be an improvement. In a republic we have few to blame but ourselves. We all deserve the government we allow to rule over us. Enjoy the ride my friends. It ends the same for us all.

The Republicans really tried to change voter ID laws in different states. They failed.. I know folks who had to take literacy tests in order to vote back in 60s. We will not go back to that.. Ever.. America has changed... Too many educated folks know better than to allow narrow minded bigots to take over our system. Some groups are planning violence as what happened with Kansas militia against immigrants... Yeah right like most US born folks would jump at chance to work in a chicken processing factory. I told my far right friend that the sleeping giant would be awaken. Voter registration is super high in many minority communities...

I’m not saying that the US isn’t a major player and that some countries hurt more than others when things happen in the US but the “world” doesn’t centre around the US as much as Americans seem to think it does On Oct 16, 2016, at 7:15 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm < thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: If you want to feel sorry for anybody, feel sorry for the majority of the planet who has become accustomed to riding the coat tails of the US in one major way or another. If and when we fall, it will be a disaster globally.
