I am proud that I live in the most generous country in the world. America is always one of the first to arrive after any natural disaster. We come with medical supplies, food and money to help any and all nations of the world.

Too bad your generousity doesn't extend to your own fellow citizens.

This country has assisted undeveloped countries of the world with education in everything from AIDS to growing crops in an efficient manner. We drill wells for the people needing water and build dams for the people with flooding problems.

We have exploited indigenous peoples and cultures to serve our needs. Much overseas aid comes from private donations.

America is willing to trade with any nation that wishes to get along with other nations of the world. In many cases we are too generous in my opinion giving an unfair trade balance to many of these other nations.

Again, we allow our corporations to exploit us, the foreign nations and our government for their private use and profit, to the exclusion of millions of citizens of the world.

In the past we have on numberous occassions defended the weak and stood by our nations allies. There have been many occassions in the past where politics has interferred with this attribute.

We have overthrown duly elected governments, assassinated foreign leaders, invaded countries for corporate profit. Propped up foreign dictators to serve our economic or military wants. Committed genocide. Performed immoral medical and scientific experiments on unwitting participants. And this is just a cursory list.
