   Hey Lita, thanks for sharing that. I gues Nickny79 is a different username than Nicholas Moccia. Anyway, I joined Nicholas Moccia's fan club. He's going to NYU Law and that's my dad's alma mater, too. So for the sake of New York and lawyerly solidarity, I just thought it would be an olive branch of sorts...

   Sufi-
   She's a true diplomat.  And she's got a degree in psychology.  I think she figured it out.

   Why thank you, Lita. But I'm not a true diplomat, I'm a subersive diplomat -- there's a difference (which you well know:-). Sufi -- you're right, tho. I'm a big old sucker for the Alpha Male. The Marlboro Man, Evel Knievel,  Kobe Bryant, John Wayne, OJ Simpson, Donald Trump. Those are my quintessential heroes, oh yeah...

   OMG....  I thought this thread was 'tidied up' for a while.  I'm tired!
   
   I like the fact that USA has some hot guys. (As does Europe, and Australia, and other places I'm not mentioning here, I'm sure!)

      Oh yeah, I noticed you are partial to some of them, especially if their names start with "N"

   What do I love most about the United States?
   
   I think the flexibility of doing business in US is admirable. Just look at the options one can have in trading the US stock exchanges.
   
   I love the people of US.

   I like the democracy in Unites States... everyone has the freedom to accuse every erring official including the President...
   I like the vastness of the United States...  with unlimited resources... and the uneven demographic dispensation.  Somewhere, it is thickly populated... somewhere it is sparsely populated.
   I like the geographical assets... Mississipi and Missourie rivers... deserts, hills, waterfalls....
   I like the open society in the US.  Most people are optimists and always support the good things..
   But I have some reservations about the powers of the President.  As soon as he is elected, he is vested with unlimited powers... even to approve declaration of war on any country... He is not answerable to anyone, except Congress, which almost go the President's way...  That should change.

      The President can't just go to war, he has have a bunch of idiots to follow him. But you are right about the geography of the US, it is really rich. We have just about everything here.
