Is it not a tad ARROGANT to think of US citizens as the only AMERICANS or is it because we are a tad ignorant and don't know our history as well as we thought we did when graduating from high school?
AND... now we are at the day before Thanksgiving and we are going to over eat and over indulge in alcohol and in those states where marijuana is legal we are going to over indulge in that as well, without the slightest consideration for the history of the holiday for the most part.
US American citizens care more about what their country can do for them rather than caring about what they can do for their country... The more we have social programs the less that our citizens do for their country and the more we expect the wealthy to pay for our THANKSGIVING DINNERS.... which is actually a metaphorical statement as to what is happening in the US of A.
AND... as a senior citizen... one could say that I don't much care because of what is going to happen to you alone because by then I will be dead... but, the more we expect our country through the wealthy to do for us, the WEAKER we as a people become. Not weaker in terms of money or technology or healthcare but weaker MENTALLY and that MENTAL WEAKNESS will start to erode and lessen our LOYALTY to the country that gave us all we have.
ALL IS NOT WELL IN THE US of A not because we do not have the natural resources, the technology, the innovations, the freedoms, and the WEALTH but because we are losing sight of our EDUCATION and KNOWLEDGE and will soon lose our freedoms because of our bliss and military weaknesses.
- CHINA has the largest military in the world today... the USA is second...
- INDIA has the next largest military and then there is
- NORTH KOREA...
- RUSSIA is in there somewhere but because it is no longer the USSR it is much smaller and then there is the
- MIDDLE EAST and all the rag heads in that area as US American military personnel calls them
