Putin's Russia has electricity. They're way better off than our Founding Fathers.
And anyway, Ned Harkness never said that.

Most of the Russian people live in Europe so based on your earlier post they would be significantly better off.
If you’ve seen Turn the women from the revolutionary period might tilt the balance in their favor.

By any other time do you mean NOW? A couple hundred million Europeans may have a different idea, as might a few dozen million Canadians. This kind of American "exceptionalism" seems like worn out idea in 2018. There are far too many Americans who quite rightly are not waking up feeling lucky today. Millions, actually.
I think we have a lot going for us here, and yes for many of us, things are as good here and now as they would be anywhere else and at any time. But statements like yours make it sound like billions of people think they'd be better off here, and that just isn't true. Would some? Of course. But those are truly the most needy and oppressed people in the world.
You sound like my very naive step-mother who honestly believes America is the only place where people are even free to vote for a candidate of their own choosing. She couldn't believe it when I listed the other countries of the world that encompassed a majority of the Earth's population where free elections were just as common as they are here (sometimes I suspect MORE common).
I like my country. I'm not looking to go anywhere else just right now. But the idea that this is the best it has ever been in the world is not only naive, I think it is damaging since it clouds our minds to the possibility that somewhere else they might do something better.

I agree completely with you. It’s a little more nuanced than I could articulate in a sentence or two. Obviously you’re almost always better off being wealthy in one area than poor in another. Also, there are probably half a dozen or so countries today where you’re better off there than here. Even that has a lot to do with tastes and preferences though.

Except now it's 17. And if we keep on the path we're on it will be 30. Then 50.
1980 was the great inflection point in American history. Until we undo that fundamental damage and destroy what those plutocrats did to this country we will just be bleeding out.

You think we're going to rid ourselves of the GOP that easily?
They stay; we drop.

The GOP has been $h!te for years and yes I truly believe the clouds will open up (which doesn't mean I'm discounting our actual skeletons) once he's out.

So, here was the subject of our lunch discussion today, and I thought I'd pose the same question to Cafe (admittedly, we have some strange lunch discussions.)
The Donald Trump / Stormy Daniels sex tape hits the internet. Assuming you can click on a link to watch it with relative security, as free from viruses or other malware as you can be as if you were watching it on say, Youtube. Do you watch it? Remember, you don't get to "un-see" it.
I was actually a little surprised at the results of our poll of the six members of our lunch group.
