We're so "average" that you loons in Australia, Canada, etc. can't stop coming to a U.S. website to discuss everything going on in the U.S. Dude - you people are obsessed with us. And for good reason. We're so far ahead of the rest of you inferior nations that there is no point in focusing on your own mediocrity. It's human nature to be fascinated by the elite.
The US is a great country. No doubt about it. The best? Meh, that's subjective. Personally, I think not. However, just remember this: No matter how great the US is, or is going to be, YOU have had NOTHING to do with it. It is great despite you, not because of you.
