I find it really interesting that people can't even conceive that perhaps in a country like Cuba, under communism, the quality of life is better than in the U.S.
We've been brain washed to believe that the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, but that's just a fantasy that Americans want to believe.
It's a fantasy, unfortunately that our president also believes. My prayer is that Americans wake up, and let go of the need to be number 1.
Years ago, we were #1 in education, health, and many other areas. But that is no longer true.
What Americans need to do, is understand that our concerns need to include all of us on this planet.
