More from Al Gore's "Current."

I've mentioned I go to this site quite a bit lately. Very cool stuff and very collaborative.
I recently came across this bit.
Interesting.

Hello America.
Are you really the greatest country in the world or just the greatest country that most of you have heard of.
Why do you call it the World Series when only American teams( and one Canadian)play?
Why do you win a World Championship when you capture the Super Bowl yet nobody else on the planet is invited?
Does telling yourselves you're the greatest make is so?
All good questions America.
Just curious.

American's pride themselves on so many great achievements but are mostly ignorant of the accomplishments of others.
America claims to have the best lifestyle, health care, economy, political system, but truth be told it's not even the best on the continent. Not even close.
America is being increasingly marginalized by a world that has free access to information about itself and increasingly gets to see that the old U.S.A ain't what she used to be.

The sad part? Everyone recognizes this but Americans.
Don't get me wrong I still like America, I'm just not in love with it anymore.
