A great way to learn to appreciate this country even with all of its lack of good leadership is to visit some of the real 3rd world countries. Try Inchon, Korea on December 23, 1960. That memory will stay with me even after I am dead and gone. We have a great country and to many people are spoiled with the give me everything attitude. Some need to be made to go out and either serve the country or work in one of the really bad countries for a few years. This country is the greatest bar none.
