WE'RE #1

It's systemic. For some reason, our people [America] are stuck in WE'RE NUMBER 1!!! mode from birth even and especially in the face of opposing proof.

We're not number 1 on:

• Education
• Health care
• National security
• Government representation
• Standard of living
• Job security
• Technology
• General manufacturing
• Research
• Law enforcement
• Religious tolerence
• Vacation time

...any number of things eveybody likes. But for some reason, the WE'RE NUMBER 1!! mentality allows us bully other countries while ignoring our own problems.
