Hmm.......... so let's reflect!
* Imperial Rome persevered for 1200 years; co-founding Western Civilization
while its character required Responsibility, Courage, Honor and Loyalty.
* The British Empire thrived for some 450 years, enriching the world through
Free Trade and demonstrating the value of Representative Governance across the globe.
* We are some 230 years of age and lead the world in caring and sympathy,
w/piety and sanctimony a very close second.
Now isn't it obvious that we are the greatest and put all others to shame???
