Leading?
"the US is considered a leading nation for many things"

like what? being the financial centre of the western world isn't about leading

I've always considered US to be the leading edge on media drama, capitalistic idiots and self hype. But I honestly can't think of any - and I mean ANY - leading anything to come out of "THE(/OUR) STATES" in a while.

Half of Europe has started subscribing to the idea of 'the American dream' as though it is attainable. It actually repulses me to a degree that I feel like setting fire to my American passport and apologising for our exports.

Why can't we actually lead? With some integrity, honesty and direction? Forget the 300Mbps connection, free healthcare anyone?

P.S. had a rather bad morning, apologies
