‘America is already great’
A few days ago, while in a local big box store, I witnessed something not seen here often enough. Behind the counter worked a lady from Australia assisting three men from Mexico. The Aussie woman and the Mexicans spoke English with a slight accent but were clearly understood.

Why, I even have a secret source of chicken I partake in that arrives fried, all the way from Kentucky.
