To: Choose Ye This Day
Heck...If we didn't get involved with WWII, we would be speaking Japanese and German mix. LOL

America has done so much good for the world, it's pathetic.

To: All

Without Americans, people would still be riding around in buggies, because there would be no vehicles. Forget about trans-Atlantic or Pacific flights; there'd be no airplanes. The world would be overrun with even more diseases, because there wouldn't be American scientists to discover cures.

No need for many electrical devices, motion pictures, phonographs or telephones, because Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell (though born in Scotland) wouldn't be around. Computers, the Internet - what are those? No one would know because they wouldn't exist without Americans.

There would be no Robert Fulton (the steamboat); Samuel F.B. Morse (the telegraph); Eli Whitney (the cotton gin); Willis Haviland Carrier (air conditioning); George Eastman (portable cameras, photographic film); Elisha Graves Otis (elevators); Clarence Birdseye (frozen foods); Les Paul (electric guitar); Henry W. Seely (electric iron).

Without Americans, there'd be no jeans, jukeboxes, MRIs, microwave ovens, nuclear reactors, refrigerators, respirators, satellite communications, Scotch tape, skateboards, skyscrapers, staplers, Teflon, toilet paper, tractors, traffic lights, transistors, typewriters, videotape, electric washing machines, zippers.
