I consider America the greatest experiment in the history of mankind. Sadly people nowadays like the idea of everyone agreeing and sitting in a drum circle, which might be why so many don't get America anymore. In my opinion it's not a bug that America is a chaotic mess of opposing forces, it's a feature. The US always has people who are right, Americans just can't agree enough on how to ruin their country. You know, like we can. We really like to agree here in Germany. What we don't like is risks and failing. So we don't usually try crazy things, we just keep over engineering combustion engines until we screwed ourselves again. Anyways... America has a certain spirit and there were bad times in my life where that spirit helped me. Therefore "I defend her still today... cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land..." Cheers.
