•I love the way we allow people to die because they can’t afford health care or drugs •I love the way the consumption of resources is a right, not a privilege •I love the way homeless people are left on the streets to rot •I love the way we think guns don’t kill people •I love the way our presidents many fallibilities are viewed as endearing •I love the way we think we are the best country, but we can barely find ourselves on a world map •I love the way obese people are simply ‘heavy’, and gluttony is not a sin •I love the way foreigners are viewed as a burden, but we see no harm in employing them at $4 per hour. •I love the way black people are demonized by the media and marginalized in ghettos •I love the ever broadening gap between the rich and the poor •I love the way we think our wars are about righteousness, not profit •I love the way we jail a shop lifter, but slap the wrist of a corporate thief •I love the way we trust the media, but don’t trust our next door neighbour •I love the way half of all marriages end in divorce •I love the way religion has more influence over policy than logical thought •I love the way international opinion is viewed as trivial or irrelevant •I love the way criticism of our country is considered un-patriotic •I love the way we think we are the only country with the freedom of speech •Most of all, I love the way we pretend everything is ‘A’ OK What do you love about country?

Despite everything I've said about Americans being naive to the rest of the world, I think there are two great things about the USA: 1 - USA has beautiful nature 2 - People are incredibly kind - they see the world through the eyes of a child.
