and yeah, you sorority/fraternity girl/boy. just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day. there are some things you should know: one of them is there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we are the greatest country in the world. we are 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, 4th in labor force, and 4th in export. we lead the world in only three catagories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined, 25 of whom are allies. now none of these is the fault of a 20-year-old college student. but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the worst period generation ever. so, when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, i don't know what the f*** you are talking about. yosemite?
it sure used to be... we stood up for what was right: we fought for moral reasons. we past laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. we waged wars on poverty, not on poor people. we sacrificed. we cared about our neighbors. we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat out chest. we built great big things, made ungodly technological advanced, explored the universe, cured the disease, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and world's greatest economy. we reach for the stars, acted like men. we aspired to intelligence. we didn't belittle it. it didn't make us inferior. we didn't identify ourselves by whom we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easily. we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed by great men, who were revered. first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. america is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
