Fidel, MD,
To your eloquent statement let me add that while I have not travelled as extensively as some, I’ve travelled more extensively than others. But, what I’ve really focused my life on is learning history. I’ve probably forgotten more history than the average “hate America” dimwit ever knew. Damn near have a Ph.D. in it and after studying civilization from its origins in Africa to this morning’s headlines, I am also of the opinion that The United States of America is the best place on earth. People just have no idea how people have lived since man first created civilization and how much of an improvement the USA is over those other methods of organizing society. Other social structures have problems at their core, because they don’t focus on the individual and the individual’s rights. We in the US have problems in our social structure at the margin, because we got the core principle of individual rights correct in our Constitution.
