Loving this thread!

I sometimes wonder if WWII was our last shining moment as a Nation. Jake, your trip sounds amazing! How wonderful to get to see the good side of what the US has done.

UofM, yes, I think teaching exceptional ism, or Nationalism leads to problems. Even on a small scale, thinking one is better than other people is disastrous.

I agree 100% about W. *rant*

When we go back and look at Manifest Destiny, where we are today is no surprise. Though I keep wishing we would somehow be better than that.

I wonder if it is in our nature as humans to be Nationalistic?
