I love them both and love to spend time in each. While the UK makes me feel sentimental and at home (and I could listen to that accent for the rest of my life), I think I like my weather chances here in America better.

Peace!

I've never been 2 the uk but this is what i think of the usa

Whether you are much too far to the Left to support Ralph Nader, or call yourself a Democrat, or so far to the Right that you consider the Republican party tools of the liberal interests, whether you consider George W. Bush a great leader and a national hero, or a colossal failure and a public disgrace, if you love your country - in spite of its faults and mistakes - and you want to help get the message out that This is still the greatest country in the world

Sure this country has made mistakes. What country hasn't? But what other country tries so hard to do what's right, not just at home, but all around the world?

What other country is counted on - as the standard for decency and tolerance and freedom?

What other country attracts eager immigrants from all over the world?

There is only one answer to all those questions and you don't haver to look any further than right here at home to appreciate how great this country really is.

In the last five years, we have been through two bitterly contested elections, two foreign wars and a devastating terrorist attack here at home, but has any of that weakened the country as a whole? Heck no! As always, America and Americans have risen above adversity and banded together to make this country work and keep on working, no matter what obstacles may be thrown in our way.

Was there rioting in the streets over the elections? Bloodshed and/or threats to call out the Army and the National Guard?

Of course not. We take it for granted that we are a civilized country, above all that and we are. But not all countries - or even most countries can say the same. In many counjtries around the world, events far less traumatic and dramatic than what we have gone through in the last five years, would have torn society apart. The government would have fallen, if not dissolved and there would have been bloodshed and chaos, so we should never underestimate our freedom or stability or take it for granted.

We should get up every day and remind ourselves that we do live in the greatest country in the world and that therefore each and every one of us has a duty and an obligation to do whatever we can to make it just a little bit better.

You can start the process by sending us your contributions, poems, letters, essay, stories, telling how you feel about America and why you have goo d things to say about the USA. We're putting together a book called GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE USA and whether you're white, black, yellow, brown or anything in between, rich or poor, old or young, a sixth generation American, or a first generation immigrant - even if you're not an American at all, if you have Good Things To Say About The USA, then we want to hear from you.

Sure, we need money, too, but mostly we need your artistic contributions. We need talented actors and actresses, singers, dancers, writers and musicians to put on shows reminding the world how great this country really is.
