Get the The United States mug.Although a country bloated on consumer economy and Big Mac's, the United States of America is diverse, free, and varied in ecosystems and landscapes. People of other nations seem to convienently forget that the USA hands out millions of dollars (and probably more) to charities, relief efforts, foreign aid, and education, among other things. The USA has faults, like *every other country in the entire world*. But it seems to me the downtrodden people sneaking into America are biting their tongues...
The United States government has remained stable for over 200 years. And I can't recall the last incredibly bloody "revolution", so much like the European ones, that's happened here...
