And generally that America was to be known for its flaws rather than its virtues. When you think about what Americans accomplished, building these amazing cities, and all the good its done in the world, its kind of disheartening to hear so much hatred of America, not just from abroad, but internally.

It is the first democracy in the history of mankind too.
