I think America’s adaptability is a major strength but what allows its adaptability are its freedoms. Freedom of speech, religion, etc. and I don’t think we can discount the entrepreneurial spirit of Americans (immigrants or natural born). The ability to own your own business and ideas is a fantastic concept that has been allowed to proliferate across the county. I don’t think there is a place on earth with as many independent people and small business owners (Hong Kong has lots too). Sure there are some simple minded, book burning, nutters out there that stifle creative minds but overall I think America is a melting pot where innovation is born and that is our greatest strength.

America’s greatest weakness is our tolerance for those who don’t think we are the greatest; they should all be crushed and burned.
