Are we REALLY the greatest country in the world? Sure, we have the greatest military and one of the highest incarceration rates... but if you look at stats, we are falling behind the rest of the world in many ways. We don't even have the most freedom. I truly love my country and spent 8 years of my life under the illusion that I was helping to defend her... A few years ago I took a step back and really thought about this and in my humble opinion, we are a great country with many advantages but, we are not the greatest and I don't care to be. There are many countries on this planet that give the same advantages, same freedoms (If not more) as the US and that is OK. I would love it if we could pull our heads out of our ass and realize that we don't have to pretend we are the best, we only have to accept that we are one of many and strive individually to be the best we can be and contribute to this ever evolving world. The more we "gloat" about being the best, the more it sets us back. Sorry if this sounds like hippy talk it's not meant to, as one can see in any of my posts that's not the case... As a free thinker, I think this an important thing to consider. What say you Midnight Desert friends???
