I grew up in northern Louisiana and have lived in upstate New York, northern California, Utah, and now Las Vegas. the only ugly I remember is old snow and cityscape in the daytime. But countryside is a beauty to bring tears to your eyes, whether it is a tall pine forest or snowcapped mountains. And city lights at night come in a close second to a cloudless, moonless night.

PS: The most beautiful night sky I ever saw was in the middle of nowhere in central England, miles from the nearest light pole.

I disagree.

There's nothing like a summer thunderstorm in the evening out the back porch of the family farm, watching the lightning light the sky in one crash after another accross the nightime horizen!

Or the fire flys dancing in the hedge rows in the early nighttime.

Or the warm summer rain coming down as I sat with my legs dangling off the side of thunder bridge.

Just about everyplace I have ever been hold some kind of beauty or magic in it.

MTV, Levis, satellites, the list just goes on and on!

No wonder everyone wants to come over here!

The Computer - Steve jobs and Bill Gates - false (computer was invented long before jobs and gates were even born)
The Telephone - Alexander graham Bell - conditionally true (bell was a scottish citizen living in the united states when he invented the telephone. he received his US citizenship several years after the invention was patented.)
The Light Bulb - Thomas Edison - false (he perfected the already existing design)

Hey. I was just browsing the place and I think its great youre so proud of you're country - but I just gotta say that, while no single person invented the computer we brits had the first working computer to find out where shells were falling from and to crack the enigma codes. British sci-fi author Arthur C Clarke came up with the concept of satelites. And we had a hand in inventing the lightbulb.
