Do we have it good in America? My good friend Tom just got back from South Korea. Heard a lot of stories!?

Maybe it is just what we have become accustomed to but I have a new outlook on things vicariously through Tom.(no first hand here) I hope to someday experience something like that.

Update:

While I don't count his experiance as mine. Definatly a eye opener I can't over look.

    I can speak as an American living in many different countries (and trips to others) that we do have it good! Many Americans who complain about their own country have never left our borders and therefore cannot speak intelligently on the subject.

    Go to Cairo, see how most of them live, well below the poverty line! Go to Africa, where disease and poverty run rampant. Go to Oman and see what conditions they endure. Spend a few months in Kuwait and tell me how bad America is or has become.

    I could go on and on but my point is made. It's easy to sit back and criticize when you haven't had to experience another country and the squalor they live in.

    Not a doubt in the world we have it good. If we continue to allow the illegal aliens to pour over the border, we won't have it good for very long at all. And our parents earned that 'good'. And they did NOT do that sos crumb bumbs in Congress could give it all away.

    Know what I mean buba.

    But add this: I spent seven months in Cambodia and Laos. I did not plan to come home. I did a good job and by my great good luck, got nailed badly enough that they carried me out. My point here is some of us are citizens, and you can bet your life that in the end, Congress is NOT going to give our country away.

    Finally... look at all those countries out there that don't have it good, and I will show you a country that just loved to have a revolution every couple of years..... or is so corrupt it couldn't be trusted with the kids piggy bank.

    Don't blow wind in our ears... go fix the problems that keep the other countries poor.
