I prefer having my children live to old age because of vaccines and farms. I prefer worrying about my weight rather than where my next meal will come from. I prefer being able to communicate with people around the world at the speed of light rather than the folks in my village. I prefer hot and cold running (and clean) water.
And I can still gaze in rapture upon the rocky sphere held in the sky by chains of gravitation.
Whenever someone finds a fault with the American way of doing things, there's always someone that shouts "but we're the most technologically advanced country on earth!", and the sound of people screaming "hurdur!" deafens everyone.
