Well said. I couldn’t agree more.
I think there are a lot of countries that have done some really remarkable things. I’m American, and I’m generally very proud of my country. If I were, say, French, Swedish or Japanese, I’d feel the same way.
Obviously none of those countries - or any country - is perfect, and all have some distinctly dark chapters in their past, but there’s something inspiring about a society organizing itself to accomplish generally good things.
