The other DrC and I have traveled to over 70 countries. As we travel there is a little game we play. Wherever we go we ask ourselves, "Is this a place we'd be comfortable living?" There are a few countries where we answer "yes" and many where we answer "no."
For all its faults, there is no place in the world we'd pick over the U.S. I can't tell you how many times we've returned from overseas and said some version of "isn't it good to be home?" Said this, even though we might have landed on the coast a half continent away from our actual home.
Our conclusion: this nation is a darn nice place. Happy birthday, USA.
