Tips & Warnings
Try not to shine light on a scorpion--it will flee when it senses light or your presence.
Just stepping on a scorpion might not kill it. They can flatten to the width of a credit card. Make sure you apply a lot of pressure and turn your foot or object to squish the critter good!

other countries rely on you? if you are referencing charity "uncle sam" gives to the poor defenceless countries, you give enough so you have that warm fuzzy feeling inside but its not enough still millions die and the only reason they "cannot take care of themselves" is because of corrupt governments america helped put in power for money land oil or weapons to help fuel you wars ,greed and destructive tendencies so don't get self righteous on us. and don't be proud of being american, you are despised almost universally throughout the world

We Americans do not need help with anything unlike most of the other countries in the world that depend on us since they cannot take care of themselves.
