Has some merit. I liked the part where he said we need to be informed, not fed.

I don't know anything about the film. I stumbled onto this clip by accident and found it interesting. What's HBO?

I can't tell by reading your post if you actually saw the show for yourself or just regurging.

I'll take "Regurgitation" for $5, Alex.

Just guessing. I read a couple of reviews this afternoon on Google News. The one linked from the (UK) Telegraph was smokin'.

Man, this thread could go on for weeks.

First you have to define what a Country is. Would Monte Carlo qualify?

And then you have to define what is 'great' and what is not. There are some things the US does worse than other countries, like mass transit, but then that depends on where you put mass transit on the scale of greatness.

A Geologist went to Dubai back in the 50's and was talking to the Emir. The Emir wanted to know where the Geologist was from and the answer was New York City. So the Emir inquired how was the grazing for the sheep?

"Adequate for our needs," was the reply. The Emir then thought of the US as a great country.

So is the US the greatest country in the world? Well, so far it is working well for me. I guess you could say it is adequate for my needs.
