As I sit here looking out at another spectacular summer day I am reminded how great a place America is. With all of the issues splashed across the media one can quickly get mired in negative.
Being an American there are things that I really appreciate.
The melting pot and diversity that is allowed is amazing. The richness that results from having people from all backgrounds, with differing ideas is something. This is a power that very few other countries can match.
Religious Freedom, the whole concept of separation of church and state was a brilliant move by our founding fathers. It is great that people with differing views can peacefully coexist.
Innovative drive and a will to win, who would have ever guessed that the original pilgrims could ever survive the harsh reality of early life in America, the drive and ingenuity along with a bit of luck that they demonstrated has served us well. In my mind there are no people in the world today that are more creative then Americans. Given virtually any problem we can solve it.
Capitalism, we live in an extremely complex world, one that can really never by fully understood. Action is one place will have unexpected consequences somewhere else. The all mighty buck can drive some strange behavior, over time however it does seem to get it right.
