CNN reports the best quality-of-life cities in the world, according to a recent survey. Eight of the top ten are in Europe; the best the US does are Honolulu at #28 and San Francisco, tied with Paris at #29. And don't tell me Europe is broke; so are we. But they are at least seem to be trying to deal with their problems. Our leaders are just posturing, including the President I voted for.
I am glad I live in the USA, but we are not all we talk ourselves up to be. We are still by far the richest, most powerful nation on earth, yet the quality of life for many of us is marginal at best. A lot more honesty about who we are and how our citizens live and about who we want to be must take place if the USA is ever to fulfill its promise.
