There's a reason we are over here and they are over there. We wanted to leave what they had behind and seek our own future. We set out from the start to be different and we are. Is the world so surprised? If so, then they have no one but themselves to blame. We've been telling the same story for over 200 years.

Ah, but the problem is that for the past 200+ years, the assumption of all Europe was that "the American experiment" was bound to fail. It has not only "not failed", but succeeded far past the Europeans' wildest imaginings, and they just CANNOT STAND HAVING BEEN WRONG and PROVEN INFERIOR.

We set out from the start to be different and we are.

Yes.

Simple and profound.
