Alice Walker: I feel that we have a chance now as a country to take our rightful place in the leadership of the world...

I'm an American. My rightful place is in Texas (yeah, laugh it up).

Thank goodness most countries in the world are wise enough to not follow America's lead.

It will be nice to, over time, regain some of the respect and admiration that America once garnered.

Question to Americans: Where does your superiority come from?

Why can't we just be a part of the rest of the world? Good universal Citizens!
