One of the things that make this the CURRENT greatest country-ever, is that we, the people can change the direction of the country.

I am not a young man....I have been unhappy with the direction a few times and happy with the direction a few times. THAT does not diminish that I think this is the greatest country ever and never believe it is former. I also do not measure the greatness of a country by the measurements you supply. You did not list heart, soul or anything in the abstract.

Would I like us to be on top of each of those lists ? I do not know.....only if it did not detract and added to our country, and I have strong feelings on many issues about which you flirt with here, but this country accepts a lot of folks from other lands and they need not take an intelligence test to get in.


SORRY I interrupted your thread here. I have a big mouth and am very opinionated, however, to me religion is from within and almost impossible to have a forum discussion on. Politics is different for many obvious reasons and you jumped from religion to politics in this thread. I have no desire to post on religion....it is in me and mine....I share when necessary, but certainly have no franchise on my feelings or my God, thus it is all personal. Sorry again...will leave you be

Well said.
