outsiders have been announcing the downfall of the USA for years.

I live in canada, but have travelled extensively through Europe and the USA since the 70s.

Its fashionable up here to criticize the US, but whenever I travel to america, I am struck by the can-do attitude of Americans.

I was in Las Vegas a few months back. It has been especially hard hit by the recession, hotels are empty and slashing room prices, construction projects were abondoned mid-stream, every taxi driver seemed to be a layed-off engineer, yet everyone radiated a positive, self-reliant, optimistic attitude.

There is an energy to the USA and Americans that you dont see anywhere else. It is one of the most politically stable country on earth.

I dont see it going down any time soon.
