CAGiversary!
So, I was listening to alexisonfires new cd and here are the lyrics to one of the songs:

It got me thinking about something I've always wondered. We claim to be the greatest country in the world because we are free. When the country was first founded, and we were the only real free country, this was true. Now that most every other advanced country has adopted the policies of freedom that made us great, how can we still claim to be the greatest country in the world?
I imagine most people that frequent this forum will agree somewhat that we clearly aren't the best country in the world any longer.
If you do think we are though, why? Like the song says "it's time to justify our pride."
