The Frederick News-Post Online - Frederick County Maryland Daily Newspaper: "Katherine Heerbrandt
Nobody does it better
Originally published July 04, 2007
We don't have to travel outside our borders to hear how self-absorbed, materialistic, and morally bankrupt we are. Americans can beat themselves up better than anyone.
Every day we read reports of how we smoke, drink, eat and gamble too much. We gobble resources, don't recycle, and divorce and shoot each other at alarmingly high rates. We don't know current events, don't show up at the polls often enough, and give each other the finger on the highways.
It's enough to give us a national insecurity complex.
But when it comes to generosity, we are winners hands down."
