The US has tons of flaws and for awhile have been heading in the wrong direction on some issues, but there is no other nation that has every the US has.
And yes I have been outside the State of Florida!!!

I would agree. But, understand, that is my opinion and my priorities. Believe it or not, not everyone in the world wakes up daily wishing to be a US citizen.
The US does an outstanding job of pointing out the lowest common demoninator around the world, inevitably convincing people that the US is the supreme being. It is similar to telling your wife, "well, I am a good man because I do not beat you."
US citizens don't listen, they speak. They are proud to speak, without listening. They jump to conclusions. They think that by reading National Geographic and USA Today that they know the world inside out.
I am a US citizen (notice we forget the term American is offensive to many westerners). I DO support our troops, no matter whether or not I agree with the cause. I pay taxes. I do not hate my fellow man. Just because you do not agree with the system, it is not a mark on your integrity.
"It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen."
