Is America the greatest country

[abaris]

No, we've had a lot more than that, it's just that people tend to focus on things like weapons, not national parks or research facilities or roller coasters.

Bad advertisment on your part. And I'm not only speaking of what makes the news and what doesn't. It's also when asked who's the greatest American of all time in some poll, people tend to come up with generals, sometimes presidents and hardly ever with artists, writers or philosophers.
