America?

So everyone in Comp got this assignment to find two articles about America. One good, one bad.  Welll I looked for the articles when I was in the lab on Thursday and only found articles that talked bad about America. So I figured I would just write about the bad and find the good article this weekend at home.  I waited till now, Sunday, to find that "good" article and I can NOT find it!! I can find about a billion bad articles but not one, not even one, good one.  I typed into google "good things about america" and it gave me all these stupid articles that had titles like: one good thing about america is we know how to get drunk, or one good thing about america is girls are willing to take their clothes off for anyone. WHAT!? that is not what I was looking for at all! I'm getting really frustrated because I want to get this assignment done but it is obviously impossible to find anything.  I'm actually gettting really mad because seriously it should not be this hard.  Like I cant really name anything good about America right off the top of my head but there should be articles! I found one article that talked about how good Facebook is for America, because it like keeps us all connected or something, but I know that article wont fly with Dykstra. So I am still "stuck in the mud." I am wasting my time writing this blog instead of looking for an article but I seriously think I looked for about fifteen minutes and I read a few that I thought might be good but they were like two paragraphs long.  Stupid.  But I should probably get back to my search to find a good article before I waste anymore time.  But on the bright side, I just got my blog done for the week.  Too bad it wasnt positive (:

    dude Mariah! I'm in the same boat as you and couldn't find anything positive! I tried numerous google searches including: america is a good country, positive articles about america, what makes america great, and i can't find an article about america being a good place. I finally ended up find like speeches and stuff but it's actually kinda challenging!

    You told me about this at your locker and I realized it myself as well. It just goes to show that there are more negatives about this country then positives.

    I know! I couldn't find any good articles that say positive things about America. Or i could find some, except they were all stupid, like you said.

    No one ever has anything good to say right now. I had a hard time trying to find an article. I often go to Google News and type in some keywords to find good articles.

    I also had a really hard time finding a "quality" article on a positive aspect of America. When I did find one, it was too short or it would go on to talk about negative things with America. Seriously, the best article I came up with was that the crime rate is declining...

    I have to agree with you Mariah. I had such a hard time finding a positive article over America. I searched all night, and then I got really tired. When I got up the next morning, I had to hussle to find a positive article...it wasn't easy at all.

    I had a hard time finding a positive article. It took me about 2-3 hours to find a decent article.
