we can. A positive attitude isn't enough and doesn't always win. Combine it with will and effort and you have a chance. This is the greatest country in the world and we can do anything we set our minds to. We may have to experience a little pain or have a fire lit under our arse but we will do what needs to be done.
Defeatism never wins, and frankly is ugly. If you (rhetorical not anyone specific) don't beleive we are the greatest country, do beleive our best days are behind us, or that the american dream is dead.... I feel sorry for you (rhetorical not anyone specific). Life would be pretty bleak if you really deeply beleive that... and there are options. Either do something about it (not bitch and moan but actually do something to make the country or the world a better place) or get out of the way.
It is very telling about what goes on inside people.
