OK, maybe not 10 things 'from' the USA, but...

1. Our cultural diversity - encourages explorartion and learning.
2. Our independent heritage - we can do it our damn selves.
3. Pioneering use of technology - we're not afraid of it.
4. Our freedom - it's not totally free, but it is worse elsewhere.
5. Our reconciliation - As a nation, we have progressed from our past mistakes.
6. Our justice system - It's not perfect, but most time it works. If you gotta do dirt, then be smart enough not to get caught. It could be worse.
7. Our people - most of us seem to grow collectively in many ways, there are things that are 'American' that our common within us.
8. the Great State of Texas - I'm not a native, but damn, I love it here.
9. The South - unique region, vast heritage, geographically diverse, home.
10. Brooklyn, NYC - I've been to many cities including overseas. New York is THE city....Bed Stuy Brooklyn, STAND UP, RWHAA RWHAA!!
