So for me, America is the greatest country in the world. When you knock on a families door to tell the their son, husband, or father has died, it confirms it. So many give so much and are there problems, most definitely. I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton over my dog, but that's me, but I sure as heck am not moving to Canada if she gets elected. People are naive to think that racism doesn't exist in our country. White to black, black to white, white to Mexican, Mexican to black, and so on. The problem is this is a learned behavior and people are ignorant enough to still be that way. Then you have these groups that are still allowed to exist like the KKK and black panthers. Why, they are based on hate. Start there, and people need to have dialogue, stop with belittling other, and have a respect for each other not based on race, religion, creed, or whatever. Back to your question, the country I live in has been to me, I love and respect my flag, and it's the greatest country on the planet earth! I think you are correct. I also think that we need to hang on to the principals and values that allowed us to achieve that greatness rather than abandoning them. 77 and Hagar 2 Quote
