This is the time of the year that we(the half of you that aren't DIRTY FOREIGNERS) should think about our country and what it is truly about.
People often say that our country has been led astray. That this is the culture of excess, arrogance, and ignorance. We have become bitter and disillusioned with the government... but too apathetic to vote (or maybe we just overslept again). Most of us probably wish we could run off to a frozen socalist paradise.
But is America really that bad? (hushes random people saying yes) Well, it's cliche to say, but it could always be worse. Some of the greatest issues facing Sudanese children include: Malaria, involontary army enlistment, goitre, FGM, and completing primary school. On the other hand, polls show that the greatest issue facing Americans today is "Why did Jeff take ME off his top 8 and put Alexis in my place? He is so dumped" (the second greatest issue being World of Warcraft addiction)
In fact, some other countries, you might be killed for voicing your opinion against the government, whereas in America, you are most likely to die while attempting to procure the latest generation of game console. Voicing your opinion against the government, on the other hand, is greatly encouraged, and may in fact be mandatory in Massachusetts. Speaking of my state, cool stuff happens all the time here, so I don't know what's wrong with your lame-o states.
What's more, tons of people actually do want to be in this country, for reasons I can only imagine to be that their country is even worse.
Even disregarding the standard of living (as disregard we must) America has also made many valuable cultural contributions to the world. such as McDonalds, iPhone, and Chamillionaire.(Austria watch out!) In fact, the United States is the world's largest exporter of pictures of kittens with words on them and other such internet memes. Our proud citizens provide the rest of the free world with seconds of lulz, every day!
In conclusion, there is no conclusion: This country still has a ways to go. But hopefully I tricked at least a few of you into reading the news. (BAHAHA! MY EVIL PLAN!) So let's just relax and enjoy our holiday, leave all our worries behind us, and watch things explode, as is the American way.
