Good Things About America

Maybe I'm too hard on America. After all, it used to be a great place to live. It's just that lately it isn't. Not if you're white, anyway, and certainly not if you're old. Then it's a nightmare, since whiteness and advanced age are just about the only two qualities that can still be mocked by anyone and everyone, and often are.

And of course the Civil War between the Democrats and the Republicans is getting worse, with families and friendships torn asunder. Not that I ever liked my husband's relatives, but they are a sinister bunch, constantly deriding my husband online, for the world to see, because of his differing political views. And they're so misguided (not to mention fat), it's hard to really give their lame arguments much credence.

But today I want to write about all the good things in America. And here they are:

1. I love those eggs bites at Starbucks. They are so yummy and low in calories too.

2. There are no bombs going off anywhere in the streets. At least not yet, and not counting the ones at the Boston Marathon back in 2013.

3. Government agents don't storm the homes of private citizens unannounced and throw them in a police car and take them to jail. (They only do that if you worked for President Trump.)

4. Even a less-than-intelligent little black girl can, by pulling enough strings, rise to the highest levels of society and become Vice President! (See photo.)
