Right now there’s something happening worth noting.
There’s an uprising in Cuba. After 60 years of dictatorship people are rising up and demanding freedom And to demonstrate they want freedom, protesters are waving American flags.
Last year when China invaded Hong Kong, people were doing the same thing.
Even people in Iran (once one of our biggest enemies) are waving American flags. Why? Because in spite of our flaws, people around the world want what we have here, and will sacrifice anything to come here.
Cuba is 90 miles from Florida. For decades, Cubans have come by boats, rafts, inner tubes to reach here. They want what we have in the worst way.
Sadly, over here there are those (and a few reading this right now) moaning about how Murka sucks.
People around the world want what we have, which many over here take for granted, don’t appreciate, or think this place is awful.
Then switch places with someone from Cuba or Hong Kong. If you don’t appreciate the freedoms you have here, someone else who lived under a dictator‘a regime will be grateful to take your place. If you think the grass is greener somewhere else, what’s stopping you from leaving?
Besides excuses.
