American consumerism does have a very ugly side. But still, no nation in this world will ever stand for the individual like the United States. The wounds and flaws of the United States only make it much more interesting human experiment compared to tame, placid, conformist and ''multi cultural'' lands like parts of Europe or Canada.
The United States is the only country in the Western World that can have Barack Obama as its President, supreme military commander and leader in every sense of the word. United States will also continue to uphold Judeo-Christian ethics and heritage, despite some creeps like Jerry Fallwell.
If you look into it, it's not that bad. I guess it's even funnier and more interesting. You keep losing all your best comedians and actors to the US. :-)
