Well, perhaps the best idea that men have come up with so far on this side of God’s own heaven. It still needed a physical place to be implemented. If that goes all to hell, there is no other place for an “America” to be.
The founding of America was a "perfect storm" of geography, history, politics, ... and destiny!
I feel a song coming on.
Note the lyric, "Only in America can a kid whose washing cars take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars." This reminds me of some radio coverage I heard today of the "Blogo" trial. It was noted that he liked to talk about how he shined shoes as a kid and depended on the tips. The commentator doubted that he actually depended on the tips to live. He went on to note how "Blogo" used to like to joke that he "married well", and indeed this was the basis for his entire political career ... op. cit.
Physical place to be,,,,,,,,, maybe not
The idea that one can be free,,,,, physical place America now,,,, if America is destroyed there will always be the idea of freedom.
Freedom’s idea cannot be destroyed, what once achieved can be achieved again
The only thing that can destroy America is America. And it is.
