No matter what your views, before you think our country has lost its way, gone crazy or whatever . . . contemplate this: the USA consists of only 4.5% of the world’s population, yet the United States ranked #1 in world giving in 2014. Our good friends in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada were right behind. Russia ranked 126, China ranked 128 in spite of having 1/5th of the world’s population and tremendous wealth. We’re not perfect but we are a great and good nation. So shake the hand of the person next to you and have a nice day.
