00:00Dad, why is American government the best government?
00:02Because of our endless appeals system.
00:05Wait, stop for a second.
00:06Your teacher crafted that question?
00:08Yeah, why?
00:09A. Does America have the best government in the world?
00:12And B. What constitutes the best government?
00:13Is it crime? Is it poverty? Literacy?
00:16Hmm? In America, definitely not best.
00:18Perhaps not even better than most.
00:19We do have a very entertaining government.
00:21Dad.
00:22I'm sorry.
00:23Are you familiar with the term BS?
00:26Bullshit.
00:26Yes, exactly.
00:27B.S., if I may, is what questions like the one your teacher posed are made for.
00:33Because even if America had the best government, there'd be no way to prove it.
00:37So what am I supposed to write?
00:39You can write whatever you want.
00:40Write about.
00:41Write about America's amazing ability to make profit by breaking down trading tariffs
00:46and bringing American jobs to third world countries.
00:48Or how good we are at executing felons.
00:51They're all correct answers.
00:53I can do that.
00:54See, Joy, that's the beauty of argument.
00:55Because if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.
