Why do most/many have to feel that the USA is number 1 in the world in spite of facts and statistics which many refuse to accept.
Are we so arrogant as a nation that we cannot accept being number 2 or 3?
I just do not understand the mindset driving this attitude I suppose.
I think being number one is something country can inspire towards, which keeps you from sliding downward when you lose the will to fight, to try and be the best. It is the competition found in capitalism, or maybe we just feel we are natural born winners.
I am not arrogant enough to think we are number 1, but I do know we can be, and that is what I strive for and wish for our people. When I make comparisons to other countrys, I am trying to point out how we can be better. Many cons take offense to truth or change, or arrogantly think we know best inspite of the facts. They only drag America down.
