seriously. I was just considering this topic today...

The more contradictions I see in this nation, the angrier I get.
Still, when I express that anger, my friends from other countries quickly point out to me that economically, politically, and otherwise, we have more freedom than probably any nation anywhere.

Of course, there are gray areas & that "freedom" isn't always as free as we might like to think it is, but still with all its contradictions, America is still, in many ways, a land of opportunity.

We have it down on paper. If we could just make our ideals a reality, this nation *would* be truly great.

But we still have a LONG way to go...
