Arrogant Patriotism

Is anyone else out there uneasy about being "the strongest"(military, that is)nation on Earth" when it means we can and will do what we darned well want? You know, "all power tends to corrupt, . . . ." With about one out of every 22 people on planet Earth an American, is anyone else offended by the ethnocentric arrogance of the ubiquitous "God Bless America" bumper sticker? Religious belief thant engendered World flags and "God Bless People" would have more appeal for me. Still more impressive, imagine seeing "God Bless Life and Mother Earth" on an occasional Lexus, Cadillac SUV and Dodge-Hemi truck!
