We're grading on a curve here.

It should be obvious that the United States is tip top or near it. Everyone wants to live here. And they are right to want it.

It's silly to compare us to some sort of imaginary Utopia. Just silly. We are on Earth. Start with that. And it actually creates a setback to justice when we don't recognize and encourage our own goodness and success. We don't need to be narcissists. But we are good.
