Actually, we all know it's a big, smelly #2, but, anyway, this e-mail I received today makes some pretty good points. ---TCM72.

COMMENTARY
AMERICA IS NO. 1:
Count the many ways!
Don’t ever say the good ol’ U.S. of A. is not Numero Uno.
If you have any doubt, just start to count:
1. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in
the world and the largest prison population on the entire
planet.
2. There are more car thefts in the United States each year
than anywhere else in the world by far.
3. There are more reported rapes in the United States each
year than anywhere else in the world.
4. There are more reported murders in the United States
each year than anywhere else in the world.
5. There are more total crimes in the United States each
year than anywhere else in the world.
6. The United States also has more police officers than
anywhere else in the world.
7. The United States spends much more on health care
as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face
of the Earth.
8. The United States has the highest percentage of obese
people in the world.
9. The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug
use on the globe.
10. The United States has more people on pharmaceutical
drugs than any other country on the planet.
11. The percentage of women taking anti-depressants in
America is higher than in any other country in the world.
12. The United States has the highest divorce rate on the
globe by a wide margin.
13. The United States is tied with the UK for the most
hours of television watched per person each week.
14. American students score consistently lower than those
of other developed countries in math, science, language
skills, and historical and geographical knowledge.
15. Americans have more student loan debt than anyone
else in the world.
16. More pornography is created in the United States
than anywhere else on the entire globe. 89 percent is
made in the USA and only 11 percent is made in the rest
of the world.
17. The United States has the largest trade deficit in
the world every single year. Between December 2000
and December 2010, the United States ran a total trade
deficit of 6.1 trillion dollars with the rest of the world,
and the US has had a negative trade balance every single
year since 1976.
18. The United States has the most complicated tax
system in the entire world.
19. The US has accumulated the biggest national debt
that the world has ever seen, and it is rapidly getting
worse. Right now, US government debt is expanding
at a rate of $40,000 per second!
20. The United States spends 7 times more on the
military than any other nation on the planet. In fact,
US military spending is greater than the military
spending of China, Russia, Japan, India, and the rest
of NATO combined.
21. The United States has far more foreign military
bases than any other country does.
22. The United States was the first to recognize the
Jewish state of Israel.
23. The United States has given more mega-billions
to the Jewish entity than any other nation on Earth.
24. The United States has fought more wars and shed
more blood for Israel than any other country in the world.
As Michele Bachmann has told us, America is truly
exceptional. It has blessed Israel and, as promised,
it has been blessed as a result.
So whenever you have any doubt, never forget to count
these many blessings.
Enj-OY!
Continuing the fight for a better world —
