Ever wonder why countries are always compared with the US. Why not England, France or Germany. How about Brazil, that is a pretty big country. Use them for a change.
As an American I am fed up with setting the standards. Tired of being a statistic. Not everything is our fault. We did not invent everything. We are not smarter (or dumber) that the rest of the world. No we did not invent slavery.
We are just people. Just trying to do the best we can. Sometimes we goof up but we do try. That has to mean something.
Now I do feel a bit better. Got that off my chest. Sorry about the outburst.
