  1. It won't until the left and right side of politics start being reasonable and work on outcomes instead of ideology. But I wish you luck and hope for your sake it's sooner than I think.

  2. I wouldn't take too much offence. The term first world originally meant opposed the Soviet Union and it's allies which were second world and all other countries 3rd world. It's true the US doesn't look outside their own country for inspiration much. Compared to other 1st world countries they are at the bottom in many respects. You mentioned life expectancy, check the life expectancy in Alabama or Mississippi and compare to your country, you might be surprised. The US is diverse with some states having high standards and others low.

  3. Well if you're CNN have to fear protestors and police.

  4. I would suggest due to the US being a violent country with many disparities when compared to other high income country. Another current issue is the left and right in US politics being openly hostile to each other. I am Australian so my comment might offend them.

  6. One way to look at is, at the moment the US is too busy internally to attempt to put their person or party in power in other countries.

  7. I think when the Australian cameraman was hit it's more real to those outside of the US and a wake up call inside when an ally is asking about press freedom.
