Number 1 or Number 2, Number 38?
Depends on what your criteria is. A while back a poll was taken of European hotel managers about their guests.
Americans were the No. 1 tippers and No. 3 in politeness (behind the Japanese and the British).
What about books published? New patent filings? Trial by a jury of your peers? Opportunities for appeal and redress of grievances?
Well, Guantanamo prisoners excluded...
I think popular opinions about Americans reflect attitudes about Bush and Co. rather than the rest of us. Of course, when he won in the second election it did reflect poorly on America as a whole.
The best thing we can do to improve our standing in the international community and economy is to stop voting for Republicans.
Of course, if America is such a terrible place why do so many people try so hard to move here? Despite our faults, America is still the "land of opportunity". Its the best place for innovation, free speech and public accountability. We just need to keep it that way.

I keep hearing about banks in trouble but nothing about credit unions. Have they managed to avoid the greed and incompetence that has humbled the banking system?
