America is a work in progress, like all nations, and more importantly all human beings. Every year of these past 235 years has been better than the year before.

The world is most definitely getting better every day not worse, and America has a lot to do with that progress.

If you could go back in time 50 years, 100 years, 200 years... meet the people of those time periods, i doubt you'd want to trade places with any of them.

Name any time in history that was better than now. I'd be interested in knowing which time in history you believe is better than now. Which period of history had less poverty? which period had less disease? which period had more equality? which period has less violence, less rape, less crime?

I can't think of any.
