  15. Pam: I must say that you make some very good points regarding life in
  16. the United States. Although the argument might be made that, as 
  17. at least in some respects the United States is the best country, relative
  18. to other countries, it seems like little comfort, when I think of how good
  19. it could be in an absolute sense. Being the best, relative to others, is
  20. really a function of the quality of your neighbors. I guess what I'm trying
  21. to say is that while America may rank 1st on some lists, that doesn't
  22. mean there isn't plenty of room for improvement.
