annettesaid:
There are many categories where the US falls way short from other countries: from literacy (or lack thereof- we are still burning books, people), to percentage of people with college and advanced degrees, the lowered life expectancy, how the elderly are treated, disgraceful prison conditions, the state of the infrastructure, the rejection of scientific theories that are not questioned anywhere else in developed nations, (evolution, climate change, to name the most famous ones), how minorities are treated. this points to an apparent return of the old west values: where men were men, carried guns, killed the injuns, raped, pillaged, and never apologized for anything. on top of it, an oligarch, tyrannical president who believes in racism and has the gall to defend it in public. it is disgraceful. This is not the America I know, but i damn sure that i used to like to visit and not stay, now i dont even like to visit.
