Nowadays when we hear about America, we tend to only hear about how we are not appreciated or perceived well abroad. Celebrities (who have made their millions off of the American Dream and capitalism) speak negatively about who we are and how we operate. So I got to thinking and as usual, did a bit of research.
I for one, am pretty proud of the American Way. For centuries, people rode horses and in carriages and worked by candlelight. It wasn’t until America was born that things began to change for the better. Not only here, but internationally. Take the inventions alone on our native soil for example. Here are a few things on that American resume:
– The Submarine
– The Cotton Gin
– The Coffee Pot
– The Steamboat
– The Panama Canal
– The Sewing Machine
– Power Tools
– The Telegraph
– The Passenger Elevator
– The Typewriter
– The Telephone
– The Phonograph
– The Escalator
– The Zipper
– The Dishwasher
– Air Conditioning
– The Airplane
– The Television
– Nylon
– The Polio Vaccine
– The Video Game
– The Space Shuttle
– The Hubble Telescope
And we wonder why people still want to come here? God Bless America.
My home, sweet home.
