Yes, yes we are the shining city on the hill. The ideals of American governance - We the People - fired the imaginations of citizens all around the world, from Vietnam to Ireland, South Africa to India – and Dog forbid, even here at home, that all are equal with equal say in government.
We gotta long ways to go still in order to live according to those ideals, but we’ve come such a very long way already.
America is corrupt because human beings are corrupt. We’re working on it. With a little luck & stick to it each generation will move us that much closer to our dream.
