That may be true, but is it a thing peculiar to Americans that we obsess about being the best at stuff? Isn't merely striving to be the best be enough?
Think "World Series." Why do we call it a WORLD series?
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood made the boast yesterday on TV, in spite of the snoozing of air traffic controllers. And here he is again, addressing a Senate committee called The Senate Aerospace Caucus, on September 16, 2010 (from the US Transportation Department blog):
WASHINGTON -- The following information was released by the U.S. Department of Transportation:
Thank you, Marion, for that wonderful introduction -- and for your years of dedicated service to the FAA and America's aviation industry. Thank you, Senators Murray and Bond, for your leadership on behalf of the traveling public -- and for hanging around to hear this former Congressman say a few words. And thank you, all, for the invitation.
America's skies are the safest in the world -- and getting safer -- in no small measure because of the people that the Aerospace Industries Association has brought together here. So, on behalf of President Obama, thank you for your partnership in the pursuit of safety -- our number one priority at the Department of Transportation.
