Any one that refers to "your region", "your good country" is not of this country for one thing. For another, as proud as we are of our country we do not have to capitalize the words United States of America, (just the first letter of United, States, and America). Secondly, we are not a good country, we are the best country, and thirdly, when did we start referring to money as $3000.00 USD. That is so full of red flags, I can't believe anyone would ever ever consider anything like that. And, the final - The United States people are a heckuva lot smarter than they are. Edie
