All this talk about which country is "#1" seems to center on an e attempt to come up with some sort of absolute best (which can presumably be measured or demonstrated), but I would think that this question should be viewed in light of an indiviual, not some abstract person. I should think that there are people in many parts of the world who do not enjoy the technological, commercial, political, or military "advantages" that Americans do, and yet are quite content with life. Why the United States should be number 1 to them is beyond me. I have lived in the United States all of my life, and appreciate many things which life here provides, and to which I have become accustomed, but I'd be telling less than the truth if I said that I didn't think there were serious problems here.
