Besides a few minor things like this, that still doesn't prevents the USA from being the greatest nation on Earth, right?
US RATES 2ND TO LAST IN TERMS OF IGNORANCE ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES
What can balance out this whole laundry list of what some might label ignorance at best and 'evil' at worst?
Is there anything? Maybe it is the hope, despite doing everything possible wrong and dark, that Americans, when they finally have had enough, do the right thing, and that nothing will stop them when that day finally comes. We have done it numerous times already. Historically, the US abolished slavery and people believed in this deeply enough to fight a Civil War to make that happen.
Women got the right to vote, without even having the ability to vote at all, and without using any violence. How did they accomplish that? Workers passed laws for basic worker rights, safety and health. Environmental laws have been passed to protect the environment. Americans passed laws abolishing discrimination, and gave everyone the 'right' to be educated for free up to 12th grade, along with a meal if someone could not afford to feed their children. We passed laws giving everyone the right to vote. These are just a few of many examples of how we have done things 'right' along the way, but only after doing it the 'wrong' way first.
Hope still exists, along with the religious freedom to think and do as one wishes. Further than that, there is a spiritual freedom that is inside of everyone that can never be extinguished, no matter what.
"Liberty is too Precious a thing to be buried in books"; In the movie; Mr Smith goes to Washington: naive and idealistic Jefferson Smith, leader of the Boy Rangers, is appointed on a lark by the spineless governor of his state. He is reunited with the state's senior senator--presidential hopeful and childhood hero, Senator Joseph Paine. In Washington, however, Smith discovers many of the shortcomings of the political process as his earnest goal of national boys' camp leads to a conflict with the state political boss, Jim Taylor. Taylor first tries to corrupt Smith and then later attempts to destroy Smith through a scandal.

Smith stands up for what is right, for truth, freedom and democracy, fighting like David against Goliath, but without any weapons. And in the end, Smith won, despite goon squads, intimidation, threats, a bought off press, and more.
Wouldn't you agree that the pursuit of happiness, freedom, truth and justice is also part of hope? The type of happiness being pointed at is not what the happiness that the mass media offers up, in terms of more money, more power, more possessions, more control of other people, or making short term profits for a corporation, or even saving more souls via a particular religion.
The happiness being pointed at here is the universal happiness that a country can pursue and measure, just like GNP. Bhutan is one country doing that, but certainly not the only one. Denmark is another country doing that.
HOW ABOUT MEASURING GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS INSTEAD OF GDP?

Of course, truth, freedom, justice, hope, happiness and spiritual freedom are universal themes, not just the sole property of US citizens, so if the US is to be the greatest, each US citizen must support, work for, hold up, and defend hope, the pursuit of TRUE happiness, religious freedom, justice, plus spiritual freedom first and foremost.
HOW ABOUT FOCUSING ON 7 FUTURE GENERATIONS INSTEAD OF JUST SHORT TERM SELFISH, GREEDY INTEREST?
But just having these things is not enough, because just being happy, hopeful and having spiritual freedom will not take humanity where it needs to go. There is one more element that is missing, and that is a focus on seven future generations. Without that focus, humanity will not live up to it's highest and brightest potential. The US adopted much of the government structure from the Iraqoi Confederacy, but neglected to adopt the requirement that before any law is passed, that the representatives must consider the impact of that law on seven future generations, and not pass it if it harms them in any way.
We are just stewards of what is going to be passed on to seven future generations. If we pass on a more polluted world, a world that is on a downward spiral into DNA destruction via low dose radiation, species loss, and a lower quality of life, that is not something to be proud of. We can and must do MUCH better, and that means making huge paradigm shifts, such as abolishing all nuclear weapons and power plants.
AMERICA HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE, BUT ONLY IF HUGE PARADIGM SHIFTS ARE MADE SHORT TERM
The fact that Americans have made huge things happen in the past, shows that we as a country of very diverse citizens can navigate through these huge paradigm shifts that are required, both inside of ourselves and outside too. That ability to pull it out of the 'wrong' and make it 'right' at the last second, if anything, is what makes America the greatest nation on Earth, despite the long list above.
Have we done all the wrong things long enough now? Isn't it time to start doing the RIGHT things, for seven future generations?

WORLD BANK WHISTLEBLOWER SAYS THIS BATTLE IS FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE PLANET
World Bank whistleblower Karen Hudes says this is not a fight about money, but survival of the planet. "We're dealing with whether we can continue as humanity and have an earth or whether we blow ourselves up. . . . whether we love each other enough to save the world, or we all go to hell in a hand basket.
It is time to close the circle, heal the wounds and learn from the ones we have been ignoring or putting down, that know how to do this. We need to act from the heart, love each other as we are designed to do, and create the Heaven on Earth that we are destined to create.
