- Made in America, why not?
By Tony Walther - With all the economic turmoil going on, I found myself asking, “what’s great about America?” I Googled exactly those words, and this very interesting article by an Indian immigrant now American citizen, Dinesh D’Souza came up. Dinesh says, “The immigrant is in a good position to evaluate American society because he is able to apply a comparative perspective. Having grown up in a different society—in my case, Mumbai, India—I am able to identify aspects of America that are invisible to people who have always lived here.”No, doubt, Dinesh, many of the things that you mention regarding why America is so great are taken for granted by Americans, because we know no different unless we have spent time in other countries. Thank you for your fresh perspective. Read the entire article here…
