Here, here, Randall! I was born in South America of American parents, have lived on 4 continents and traveled to many other countries, including living in Venezuela & Libya. I am always astounded, after all these years, especially after living in 3rd world countries, how much Americans take for granted! Golden ticket indeed…Talk about spoiled!

You are soooo right about the spoiled attitudes. A good dose of Army Basic Training would do wonders for a huge number of citizens. What appeals to me now is to have a requirement that every citizen serve a "hitch" in the army after reaching age 18 or graduating high school. It would do wonders for the development of so many. You will learn how to be self-sufficient because no one is going to hold you by the hand. Oh my! I guess you lit me up this evening. Thanks for your comment.
