Most of us are only a relatively few generations down from someone that
had the guts to leave their home country and come here to create a new
life.

Drive and available cash flow are very much unrelated. We are an
enigma. We have a huge prcentage of driven, breeding with driven, over
a couple centuries, why do you think we drive innovation above most
nations, all nations on a mean. The facts on the slave elements
mentioned are we bred physical traits from the success negative
element fom them. That statement sounds like something from a white
supremacist garbage can. But sometimes truths sit in garbage cans.

Hmmm. I think history would prove that attitude and drive is not
genetic. Or at least the fact that the riches of a family seldom
stay in the family past a couple generations would lead one to
believe that genetics has little to do with success. That is an
interesting position. Genetically diverse yes, predisposed to
drive, success, or any other positive trait, I don't think so. It
seems to me that the evidence points to nurture over nature in
this regard.

The absolute most common trait in success is drive. Driven
people flocked to the us, my grandfather walked across Germany
to get to a boat to come here. That's not uncommon among
immigrants, even the current ones from South of the border and
South of the borders border that have walked here.
We took Africa and Irelands people @nd bred the best stock
over and over. The US is in fact genetically superior to the
rest of the planet because we have the rest 9f the planets
best genes.
Our nutjobs, even they are superior genetically. Fuck balls

With all our problems. All our faults. Even all our
inflated egos. We give more pet capita than any other to
other countries. Not the government's gifts, private
donations. People still come here from all over for a
chance to be rewarded for their hard work like no other
country will allow them to be rewarded.
Racist? Sure. Bigoted? Many. But I thrill to watch the US
in the Olympics as it is one of few countries you cannot
determine by race.
Will the rest of the world be worse off when we fall? By
that time, probably not. We have already outlived most
government's and are a bit long in the tooth. Sure, others
have long histories and the same names but not the same
government's.
I am proud to enjoy it while it lasts knowing nothing ever
stays the same and that no matter what I want or do I have
no control over it. My grandchildren, if I am so lucky,
will have a completely different America to live in than I
did from my grandparents. Most of that is likely to be an
improvement.
In a republic we have few to blame but ourselves. We all
deserve the government we allow to rule over us. Enjoy the
ride my friends. It ends the same for us all.

Even Pence is cautiously distancing himself from the
rigged vote paranoia.. The Republicans really tried
to change voter ID laws in different states. They
failed.. I know folks who had to take literacy tests
in order to vote back in 60s. We will not go back to
that.. Ever.. America has changed... Too many
educated folks know better than to allow narrow minded
bigots to take over our system. Some groups are
planning violence as what happened with Kansas militia
against immigrants... Yeah right like most US born
folks would jump at chance to work in a chicken
processing factory. I told my far right friend that
the sleeping giant would be awaken. Voter

Not sure I agree with this …. the US is
one very large and powerful country yes …
but (and I’m not trying to stir
controversy here despite it sounding like
it) it’s one country out of many … and
there are many other large and powerful
countries out there. I’m not saying that
the US isn’t a major player and that some
countries hurt more than others when
things happen in the US but the “world”
doesn’t centre around the US as much as
Americans seem to think it does
