I'm in agreement with both of your messages (81 & 82), JD. When I say that the USA is the greatest, I honestly don't mean that as a put-down of any other country. I believe that the USA should be the standard of those nations that are ruled by the representrative government of the people. I do believe that we have a lot of things that we need to work on to put us back in the direction of as much personal freedom as possible. I don't believe (as others have said) that it is the govenment's responsibility to take care of us, just to give us the opportunity and liberty to take care of ourselves.
