| A great place to live. We take for granted what we have. We don't realize everything that is out there. America is young. We have many more things to do as a country. --Mike Bannister | A place where the controlled could find freedom. A place where rules were unknown. It had much to offer, and was a home to many. For some, America was taken away; for others, America was born. --Dani Statuto | Money. Power. Knowledge of the world. Lots of powerful people. Lots of normal people. Lots of poor people. --Jessica Schlieben | To return to its "natural state." The way our ancestors found it. Untouched, not corrupt, as natural as can be, just existent. People can still be here, yes, but we must realize and establish the gentle balance between good and evil, corruption and purity and "natural" and "man made." I believe that is the only way to "fix" America and her people. --Leigh Courtemanche | A place that is looked toward for leadership, just as it is now. It will be a cause of many problems in the world at large, as well as a part in the solution to many. It will be a leader in technology and advances in medicine. --Erin Thornton |
