America is not the land of the free and the home of the brave. We're not free or brave.
And he's right. Americans these days are far from the Americans that built this nation into the giant that it once was. Those days are becoming more and more dim. We have slowly become spoiled rich kids that have forgotten that freedom has a price: bravery.
It just is what it is. Although we may still call this country America it just isn't. The people behind it aren't Americans, they are weak sheeple.
It's like if you to take a strong company like Google and swap all of its employees with all the people in prison. Google would become a new prison and the prison would become the new Google. There has been this same type of brand change to America only it isn't quite this extreme and it has happened very slowly over the years, although it is really starting to speed up now.
All you have to do is compare the qualities of early Americans to those of current Americans:
Conclusion
We're not free and we're not brave. We're not even Americans.

Have to disagree with this one. Generalities are always dangerous, and the question still remains is there any country I'd rather live in? For me, the answer is no.
But bravery, charity, invention, etc. are all still going strong here. There were a fair amount of "sheeple" in the colonial days too. It's the founding fathers we choose to remember, right? Mankind will always have leaders and followers, and leaders will always be more rare. Nothing more to it than that.
It's never 100% of anything in either way, there are always exceptions. There are obviously still great people in America and were weak people in the colonial days.
However, if you compare the quality of people these days to the quality of people say 100 years ago there is no comparison - and the facts prove it: Crime is higher, divorce is higher, consumption is higher. The trend is that we are becoming lower and lower quality. There will always be winners that don't get pulled down, but the majority are.
Yes America still may be the best place to live, but that is slowly changing and 20 years from now we may have to rethink that thought.
The reason I enjoy your site is this sense of joy for life and the quest for truth and love of creativity. Seems we have to go out on the net to find kindred spirits for in my own inner circle 'sheeple' rule and having conversations that actually generate new ways of thinking doing things is slim to none. There is such a thing as social engineering and from what I've learned about people is that for the most part they do not like change and it's considered impolite to say anything that someone doesn't want to hear. I remember once when someone warned me that I would offend people if I kept insisting that they think. I responded with a "Huh?!" But it seems to have a bit of truth to it. What does that say about America today vs yesterday? I don't know. but what I do know is that I love the net. It opens the whole world up to me personally, professionally with lots of spiritual affirming and a great future unfolding for humanity. I'm lovin' this sense of ethereal connections, like the ugly duckling finding the swans. ha!
Good afternoon. Get pleasure out of life...as much as you can. Nobody ever died from pleasure.
I am from Saudi and also am speaking English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "The idea behind anti allergy vaccines is to increase the tolerance of patients to the allergen by eprogramming the immune system to respond differently."
