One of the things that does not make sense is when people in the president of this country as the leader of the free world. The president of the United States is the leader of this country only. This country does not lead the free world. I do have freedom that are not available in all countries, but that does not mean that there are not other free countries and they have their own leaders. One of the areas where the U.S.A. leads the world. According to things I have read 25% of the people in jails on this planet are in jails in this country. This country definitely does not have the best health care system. It is not even in the top ten. The leadership claims to be against oppressive dictatorships. The only reason that the leaders in Washington would want to get rid of a dictator is that the U.S. wants to get oil from that country. The U.S. supports oppressive dictators if the U.S. can get what this country wants from them. There are fundamentalist Christians in this country who want to export their hatred of homosexuality to other countries. They realize that this hatred is losing its power in this country, so they are encouraging it in Africa. They are in favor of the death penalty for the LGBTQ community there.
In 1999 I knew people who said that the world was going to end when 2000 started. On New Year's Eve I was talking to one of these people. It was already 2000 in many parts of the world. I said that if something catastrophic was going to happen it would have happened already. He could not grasp that if this was going to happen it would probably not happen first in the United States. They seem to have the mistaken belief that the U.S. is where the heart of Christianity is. That is arrogance that is laughable.
The United States of America is one of the free countries on this planet. It does not lead the free world. There is no single country that leads the free world.
