history: We really are lucky to live in the United States. Do you ever wake up and realize how lucky we are? I travel a lot and I just got back from Haiti. I'm convinced it's better to be poor in America then rich in Haiti.
current: That's a profound thought. We definitely take America for granted, especially when some people say it's in its "worst state in a long time." We're prisoners of the moment.
next: Those that criticize have not traveled the real world out side resort gates or into the third world. Then you see a real state that is in trouble.
