Lists of Bests: MoveOn.org's "50+ Ways to Love Your Country" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/22847 My initial 50 entries are from MoveOn.org's book, _50 Ways to Love Your Country_, ISBN 1-930722-29-X. I've included related 43Things goals that already existed, so this comes to more than 50. Categorizing it as a "definitive list" leaves it open for others to add suggestions.
