“And you — sorority girl — yeah — just in case you accidentally
wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should
know, and one of them is that there is absolutely no evidence to support
the statement that we’re the greatest country in the world.”
“We’re seventh in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, No. 4 in labor force, and No. 4 in exports.

Follow this link to read a short but interesting thoughts on the accuracy of this screed heard in HBO´s "The Newsroom".Have you asked yourself how much do we know about our own countries? Do we believe all we hear in the news? Have we ever tried to google out the facts and numbers shown? Many have not and live under certain beliefs that may not be real. From a certain perspective, although criticized, "Borat" tried to prove it and succeeded until a certain point.
