I believe America is a verb, not a noun. America is the greatest opportunity for people to live in fairness and decency, but only if you accept the idea that America is an ongoing activity, rather than a done deal. America as an evolving concept has meaning; our country offers more potential for human freedom and mobility of mind than any other sovereign nation created in the last 10,000 years. But if America is just a noun, a static object, it should be treated as any other nation. Nothing special -- simply a place that is south of Canada and north of Mexico.

Very astute observation but, he makes some very good points don't you think?
Come on Paddy, WRITE. This is just lazy crap. We've already read this cut-and-paste stuff elsewhere, if you really care about an issue, WRITE about it yourself. That's what a blog is all about.
This is grade school stuff.
