Spoiler: The best thing about this country is its abundant resources, be they in the form of our vast tracts of fertile land, our population of smart and hardworking people, or our indomitable spirit. I would protect these resources by not overexploiting them and working to develop new areas in which we can excel.
The worst thing about this country is our complacency. While we received a shock on September 11th regarding our national security, we are still complacent about our position as the greatest and most powerful nation on the Earth, about the rights that grant us more freedom than any others, and our wealth and prosperity. We must never settle, never be satisfied with what we have accomplished, never compare ourselves to others as if that were enough. We must be our own toughest critic; though we may love this nation, we must always strive to make it better, to provide a better future for our children than we had ourselves.
