A little Bill Frist M.D.

America is not just good. It’s great. I saw it just weeks ago when I was in Russia, where the rule of law is in question, where there is no true freedom of the press, where men don’t live to the age of 59 years old. I saw it In Darfur in February when Karyn and I witnessed the absence of hope because of an unjust government who committed atrocities

Good point, but... I fail to see how the USA [i'll refrain from saying America] is "great" because we're better than third world dictatorships. And as much as I love Russia, only the rich live like first worlders. That's not the mark of a 1st world country. I can easily see how being better than horrible countries makes us good. But great? When there's a lot of other countries doing more socially minded things? Somehow I don't see it.

There's a message noone could ever make fun of.

Is that a challenge? :D
