arstegall, agree with almost everything you said there, minor disagreement on the current status of the country, I think there have been one or two worse moments in our history, but as you said it still has no competition, not even close!  All you have to do is have a disaster somewhere in the world, or a major conflict, and which country is the first to get there every time?  USA.  The next time that someone beats us to one of those situation will be the first.  GO USA, GO TECO!
