And of course these problems are uniquely American. In Britain nobody is poor, crime is nonexistant, the government is a model of efficiency and fairness, and its healthcare system is near perfect.
Fine, but I wasn't the one claiming that my country was a "beacon of hope". I've never praised the UK on these forums. But our healthcare system is better because our paramedics take you to hospital without having to check your wallet to see if you can pay.

The Bell on the telephone, Meucci's was more of a clapper and you couldn't hear it too good.

Dr., you are being presumptuous to know what I "pretend". I was just pointing out that there are good AS WELL AS, bad sides to America's excesses. I was born in 1949. I've seen many of America's excesses of bigotry, poverty, greed and corruption. I've also seen how America takes in the poor and desparate of other countries and helps feed the poor and impoverished who don't live on American soil.

It's a big complicated world out there. Try a little gray on your paintbrush and throw in some splashes of color while you're at it - Mellow Yellow would be nice too.

Needless to say I don't subscribe to this point of view, MaryCas. Don't touch my national heroes!

Well, actually MaryCas, the bell was already invented back in some 600 BC by a Persian. :p I doubt that you could prove it otherwise. :p

Yes, but it took a great inventor like A.G. Bell to incorporate it into Meucci's invention. Isn't this the HATE AMERICA thread?
