@Lucy ...well, it's an attitude, whether or not it's actually a fact is in the perspectives of everyone who has expericenced that from an encounter with the U.S.
The U.S. is still growing, really. It's got economical advantage at points because it does encourage creativity among citizens. So maybe there's still a good future.
Really, @Lucy?!?! I could ask that or start asking myself, 'Where in The World is Lee Jordan?' or 'Where in The World are Zack and Ivy?' I mean no one knows where everybody us at.
