[quote Lux Interior]Very interesting.
But the argument that America is falling behind in anything is usually met by a knee-jerk accusation that this is all just a bunch of "America-hating", and "Love it or leave it (but don't try to change it)"
As long as the politicians keep the sheep fat & complacent, there will be no change. As one American recently stated, "I am completely satisfied as long as I have my Diet Pepsi and fast food fix."
Well not entirely, he did question the wisdom of consuming a week old dollar Macburger. He ate it anyway but he did stop to question. Is that cause for hope?
