Other than that, practically the entire modern industrial and electronic world that we live in was created by America. We are using about 20 American inventions right now in just communicating our ideas online. And that's not a trivial contribution. It deserves to be called a great contribution, and at least in these senses, America fully deserves the title "great."
I think this is a case of "What have you done for me lately?" Will, in Bill Maher's case, the technology and freedoms afforded by American ingenuity and the constitution have allowed a political comedian to become super famous and earn many millions of American dollars.
Amazing post. As an immigrant from South America, I am so incredibly grateful to be here.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
