And also don't forget that we have total freedom of speech and there is
no propaganda in the media like other countries.  

Freedom comes at a price, and the more money you have the freer you are.

<satire>
But, but ...

I was taught since grade school that all important discoveries and
inventions were made by (mostly) Americans in (always) America.

Could it be otherwise?  This understanding of our accomplishments and
yes,
even destiny, has underpinned our unparalleled prominence on the World
Stage.

This revelation that a red-white-and-blue American was not actually the
first to fly is shocking.  Perhaps we were second or third with
railroads
and automobiles also?  Whoo-ee, I feel like Neo in the Matrix, removing
the
blinders that hid the vast incubation farms where people lived in
ignorance.

I guess I can handle sharing the credit for human knowledge and
developments
with other countries.  Just don't ask me/us to share authority decisions
or
participate in ecological improvements.
</satire>

OK, back to our regularly scheduled U2 topics.  Say ... didn't an
American
invent the first computer and compiler and database and ...

Happy Friday!
