god save america!

haha, if i didn't already believe in god the american example would probably convert me... for a country as messed up as america to work the way it does and produce the institutions it does and play the role it does in the world is... a miracle!
seriously SE, i agree that in the great democratic experiment that is america, there are bound to be good and bad samples. where are the great presidents that led not just america but the world? where are the sons of the founding fathers that wrote the declaration that made me, a non-american, tear with emotion? let's just hope a great leader will turn up soon.
