We have a lot to be thankful for in this country, particularly that we live here, particularly that as human beings on this planet, we live and make up and comprise the United States of America. The gratitude of that alone, if people could just harness that, then the root of optimism could be found there. Because if you have, as I do, a profound appreciation for what this country is and how rare and unique -- remember, not long ago I asked you, you ever wondered why, throughout the history of human civilization, less than 300 million people, in less than 250 years, have created the world's greatest empire? We're all human beings on this planet, just like everybody else. Nothing special about us, in terms of the way we're made. There's nothing really special about where we live. It's how we have organized ourselves and conducted ourselves. That question alone, and its answer, creates awe in me.

I have a vast appreciation for what this population of people since our founding has created, and therein lies a foundation of gratitude. When you have an appreciation and an understanding of what this country is and what's possible here, well, then you have the ability to be optimistic about the future, if you think about it this way. But, if my friend's right, if you take it for granted because you've either never thought about it, or because it's never really been taught to you in the proper perspective, and, of course, these days there's a lot of anti-Americanism being taught in the schools via the multicultural curriculum and so forth, if you expect that being an American simply means you're entitled to low gasoline prices, if you think that being an American means you're entitled to somebody taking care of your health, and then when things go wrong and you haven't learned how to provide them for yourselves, you are going to get mad and think your country is going to hell in a handbasket because it's not doing anything for you. Does New Orleans and Katrina strike a bell?

they may be misguided but arent they incredibly pious and obedient? and isnt that what God asks for? it would seem to me that these terrorists are much more devoted to their faith then the sunday christians in the developed nations.....if God told you to give up your life to take out an enemy, would you?


there is a big reason why i dont follow any organized religion, they are all evil and machines designed to control mens minds, and no kind a just God would want to control his childrens minds. God is probably a life force, anyway....
