[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 60843, member: 1436"] " think that "the richest nation in the world" is more and more of a myth." So true. Just look at what the Euro has done to the American dollar! The belief that we are the beacon on the hill which should light the way for the rest of the world comes from our puritan ancestors: they believed they were building the new jerusalem and that this was the promised land. Unfortunately, the only meant for it to be that way for themselves---not everyone else. In many ways we haven't changed a lot. Most people still expect more of others than they do of themselves. If we could all just learn to weed our own gardens and not worry about everyone else's, we would be much better off! [/QUOTE]
