The Good Ole US of A

 

Despite all of its flaws, and there are many of them, the United States of American (US of A) is still the best country in the world to LIVE...

• We have the highest quality of life
• We have the highest salaries and wages
• We have the most natural resources
• We have the strongest military
• We have the most personal freedoms
• We have the right to bear arms
• We have a fantastic system of professional sports and entertainment

HOWEVER...

We do have our problems:

• failing education
• increasing national debt
• increase in illegal immigration
• inflation
• politically divided country

STILL...

I would not live anywhere else in the world other than the US of A and inside the US of A, I would not live anywhere else other than EAST TN.

1. I don't need a lot of fancy restaurants
2. I don't need to attend Broadway plays
3. I don't need a subway system of transportation
4. I don't need to deal with lots of vehicle traffic
5. I don't need a bunch of higher education
6. I don't need a bunch of crime and violence
7. I don't need a higher quality of life

I own my home

I am debt free

I live on social security

I have fantastic neighbors

My day is spent writing

I have no worries or concerns

My community is safe and crime free

While the Good OLE US of A is changing, and while I am concerned that this change is more negative than positive, I have reached an age in life where I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ANYMORE what happens.  Whatever problems we encounter now belong to the next generation to solve.  If this next generation wants to move closer and closer to SOCIALISM that is fine with me because whatever they decide to do with impact me only slightly.
