 That was when we were really great. Doesn't add up. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists. Yeah, we never beat our chest. We never, oh no, not Americans. We haven't always been known for beating our chest, at least starting in the early 19th century.
