Nice one, diddled below...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the united states of america has a great 
bball competition
$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ and a strong and stable economy  *  it 
is the world's only
$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ remaining super power and has lost very 
few wars * it  has
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the most effective military machine in 
the world's history
$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ in absolute terms, perhaps not 
relatively when considering
$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ past military giants such as the 
absolute domination roman
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ empire had enjoyed in its height * the 
usa is young nation
$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ such as australia and despite europe 
having many more year
$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ to get their act together trail 
economically & in military
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ terms whilst still being quite rife with 
political  issues
$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ such as racism * the united states of 
north america is oft
$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ derided but like the romans have brought 
many advances  to
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the  worlds civilisations  such as the 
sit-com,  hollywood
$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ and super models and super stars and 
oprah... whilst these
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ were not all "invented" by americans 
they really made them
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ work * americans work extremely hard 
with only 2 weeks off
a year and  must compete in a very capitalistic  market place where the 
  danger of layoffs
and  international  outsourcing are every present  dangers whereas in 
comparison the euro
community can sometimes be said to work to live rather than live to work 
* americans  is a
bit of an inaccurate terms since there are many peoples on the american 
continent both nth
and south who of course are not united states citizens however the usa 
is  gracious enough
to allow such a term to pass and also are happy to identify their 
sporting competitions as
so advanced as to really effectively be world series rather than purely 
national titles  *
some people are happy to take a one sided view but the usa kicked 
hitlers ass but true the
russians helped a lot but usa ended  up winning the cold war as well  * 
  freedom of speech
freed the slaves eventually strong constitution * made/used the big bomb 
kill lots of civs
with it, hardly uncommon in ww2 (ask your grandfather) * speaking of 
firsts  they were 1st
to the moon and really who can say we're not all better off without 
that? * many americans
individuals and corporations are extremely rich,  something others 
aspire to,  and some of
these even give to charities far more than you or I could hope to  give 
in absolute terms.
