Answer 2

What? I believe you may find the answer in the declaration of independence. America has a rich history since the Spanish first landed and began to plunder the New World.

Most of the European countries were seeking new sources of riches, but the one's who won the prize of the USA have taken the responsibility of making the best of the opportunities for develpment and creation.

Liberty. Europe wasn't that far removed from a feudal state in the 16th century, and the promise of the new world, where merit played a larger role than birth was very appealling.

No developed country has held the same values for five hundred years, or even the 230 years since USA declared it's independence from England, to effect self representation, and use the taxes in the area they were created. Technology that makes works easier, and yet quite different, as well as communication technologies are resulting in a modification of the numbers of cultures. In 1776, did anyone even contemplate the idea of a computer systems engineer? Or even a tractor mechanic or trucking company? No, different jobs result in a different way of seeing things.

America has never been a democracy. The constitution of the United States establishes the government as a Representative Republic. It was more of a Federal Republic at the time of it's founding. And many persons were excluded from voting when the USA was founded.

Democracy has never, and will never work, unless there is some fundamental change in the human pysche wherein all persons think in terms of the best of the group. Even Ancient Greece, that theoretical model of Democracy, limited voting rights to about 3 percent of the population.

All that aside, I do believe we can do better as a country and as a society. We just have to do what little we can in our corner of the world, and if the opportunity arises, do greater things for more people.


Addendum to sharon: Christobal Colombo was a Portuguese, sponsored by the nascent Spanish Throne, after the Iberian Peninsula finally ran off the Moors. The Spanish and Portuguese thought it was India; Research the Spanish Conquest, one of the dirtiest examples of murder and plunder since Genghis Khan. Don't blame the English on the devastation the Spanish effected on the Americas. Not that the English and Dutch were completely innocent, but they were builders rather than plunderers.

Answer 3

It was created because people who have lived in the new discovered property will not pay their taxes anymore and other personality of every Nations who have established their butts in the new found land have endorsed them to do so... and a united effort have been formed.
Which also signifies that the value that you hold dear doesn't exists in the first place. They are all tax evaders of their respective Nations.
A democratic society of tax evaders. United Suckers of Amerigo.

Answer 4

Between the Northern Tundra of Canada and the lower reaches of Tierra del Fuego, where exactly in 'America' do you mean?

Answer 5

They complained about paying to much money. The values are painfully,but slowly getting better. Quit shopping at Wal-Mart and business that emulate it. Wal-Mart does good deeds but it died when Samuel More "Mr. Sam" Walton and James Lawrence "Bud" Walton died.

Answer 6

America was created to rule - Mwauhahahahahaha.
And yes, it has killed your value. (Im assuming youre from America) Other countries really don't hold the same regard we used to.

Answer 7

We are probably more democrated now than in the 1770s. Then women and any but well-to-do Europeans had anything to say about how their lives were run.
Democracy evolves.

Answer 8

SO WE COULD ALL LAUGH AT THE MESS GEORGE BUSH HAS CREATED.
