It's people are in transition, culturally, from adolescence to young adulthood. Exciting!

Freedom of Speech
Like being able to post my opinions on here or anywhere else, the whole freedom of speach thing. Other things like clean water and food to eat, electricity, a judicial system and law inforcement, being able to vote, the ability to own a weapon if one should want to, ability to go to school and choosing a career, You know, the simple things...not saying that it doesn't exsist any where else, but 80% of the world doesn't have some or all of those things.
That said, I love baseball, Cedar Point, Hollywood blockbusters, and NCAA college football.
- Thomas Jefferson
- writers like "The Brahmins" - Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau etc.

Ditto this.^^^^ I don't say god bless anything, because I don't believe god exists, but...
its a good place overall and I feel lucky that the accident of my birth occurred in this part of the planet. New York City. Pearl Jam. NIN. Road trips. Benjamin Franklin. The Constitution. The ban on child labor. Martha Graham. Jerome Robbins. Gershwin. So much good art and music - we are so lucky. And it is luck. Most of us didn't earn this - we were just lucky enough to be born here. Feynman. There's more but this is what comes to mind.

I'm so sorry you are Cynical regarding "God Bless America!" With that said- I was born and raised in Ohio (Cleveland) and became military at 17. Howeverer - one thing in common -I love that you love Cedar Point! Cedar Point ROCKS! I personally love everything about the Constitution, I love our troops, I love being free to support PETA, I love being an Independent thinker, I love that as a female, I was able to obtain a college education, I love Pearl Jam Music, I love Dairy Queen, In Demand television, Verizon Wireless, Vonage. Geez! The list goes on and on! I'm very proud to be here! Lucky to have been born here!

Youre such an easy bait......Thanks for being such a predictable troll. And thanks to everyone else for keeping it positive.
Thanks you Greece.
So you admit that you were baiting me? I thought as much.
What a ridiculous phrase. As if God - if there were such a thing, which there isn't - would recognize borders and nation states and differentiate between them. Do you ever hear anyone saying "God Bless Equatorial Guinea", or "God Bless The Federated States of Micronesia"?
This just gets funnier and funnier. Keep 'em coming!
