America The Beautiful

Is it better to live in a country like America where you are constantly told this is the greatest country in the world to the state where you not only belive it but you take for granted that it's the greatest country in the world than to live in say Austraila were you and others constantly bitch about what's wrong with the place. I mean I know Australia is a better place to live than America. But maybe Americans are actuly happier because they are blistfuly happy because they belive the pro American dogma. I mean critics like Michael Moore are dissmised as left wing looneys but no one ever says Micheal is wrong for this reason or that they just say he's a looney. What do you think.
