What makes America great?

Published by PerriNelson under Northwest

That’s the question I’d like to consider for a while. Of course the question itself may be suspect to some people. In asking this particular question I’m assuming that America is great, and I’m well aware that there are some people in America today that just don’t accept that premise. To those people, I’d like to offer up a suggestion – do like so many other people do and vote with your feet.

I’m not saying “America, love it or leave it.” here, and I’m not simply hoping to get rid of dissenters. Instead, I’m saying that one of the measures of a country’s greatness might be found in the flow of emigrants and immigrants. If more people are emigrating from a country than are immigrating into it, that says something about conditions in that country don’t you think? And if the opposite is true, doesn’t that say something about it as well?
