America is the worst country in the world, except for all others. Things here are good but not perfect, and it cannot get much better than that.
On Pages 139 and 140 of Liberty and Tyranny, Levin points out how Conservatives appreciate this state of affairs in America: "For Conservatives, scientific and technological advances, especially since the Industrial Revolution, have hugely benefited mankind. Running water and indoor plumbing enable fresh water to be brought into the home and dirty water to be removed through a system of aqueducts, wells, dams and sewage treatment facilities; irrigating and fertilizing creates more stable and plentiful food supplies; harnessing natural resources such as coal, oil and gas make possible the delivery of power to homes, hospitals, schools and businesses and fuel for automobiles, trucks and airplanes; networks of paved roads promote mobility, commerce and assimilation; and the invention of medical devices and discovery of chemical substances extend and improve the quality of life."
