I believe that all men/women ARE created equal (aside from the obvious physical differences)...and I strive on a daily basis to live up to my potential part in that belief. I think our forefathers had a wonderful idea and somehow it is still slow in catching on for some egotistical, pigheaded, ignorant, power hungry, inner sanctum groups!

I AM proud to be an American! Of all the flaws we take shit for (and yes, there are grounds for some of it), I think that for the most part we have our hearts in the right spot! When we are good...we are very, very good (in the eyes of the world)...and when we are bad...we can never live it down! That's the price we pay for being set on a pedestal as a superpower.

I don't like that monikor (superpower) because with it comes the critisism and jealousy and anger that only another American should be afforded to sling. It's comparable to parents and siblings to me. I can poke fun at my family...but you'd better be careful what you say about them! LOL!
