9. A city street sweeper can make more money than a college-educated journalist.
8. You can buy a house you can't afford and the government will still bail you out.
7. Bill Gates.
6. Boob Jobs.
5. You can have punk, rock and punk rock as entirely separate genres of music.
4. In Kuwait, when someone is buying something at the market from an Indian, they communicate in English - due to how much America rules. (Two notes: This is a true story. I have a credible source. Also, she says that they use American (not British) terms, so this is really due to how much America rules and not because of the British colonizing half the world. Truth.)
3. Drive-thrus
2. Innovation. No other country in the world fosters innovation, ingenuity and entrepreneurialism as much as the US.
1. Freedom! Seriously, we are really fortunate to enjoy the freedoms - in all their forms - that we have. So on this Fourth of July in an increasingly volatile world that kind of hates America, don't feel bad celebrating, because we rule!! Yeah!

Honestly, none of these really make any sense. Though, here is one main thing about the US. You guys don't have free health care. Yay!! Go Canada!!!
