Others have already caught up. China is a world power, and the EU has the potential to be. America may be a superpower, but it's not a hyperpower that it reveled in being during most of the 90s.
I also could give a damn what the English and Australian people think about us. Chalk it up to tall poppy syndrome.
Oh, the EU's "military" (sorry, it
I agree with almost all of your points, except the one where you trashed my "fancy degrees". Education is a means to an end, and the end has several paths that lead to it.
Historically speaking, governments last an average of 225 years and the US is fast approaching that. Change will occur and given the splintering of the country now I can see that happening in the future. Some people will call it Balkanization, but it's impossible to make people live together in harmony and respecting each other when they are spread across vast distances. This has been a problem with every empire.
If Todd Palin had his way, that would be Alaska. And Sarah can be your President!
Agreed, but I don't think China's at our level yet. Our military is still far superior to anyone else's, including the entire EU.
What needs to happen is the legalization of drugs (extraordinary boom for economy and frees up our prisons and ultimately tax dollars), the implementation of a flat tax, and a complete and total overhaul of the education system. Children are indoctrinated into thinking they have to get fancy degrees and work for someone else. The main focus should be on business. That's not how capitalism works. A degree from Yale isn't going to put food on the table. Profit from the business you created is.
I wouldn't mind being governed by a half-wit if we were truly free (which she advocates bans on drugs, gm, prosti., gambling, etc.) and my money wasn't redistributed to leeches.
Well written.
Does it matter?

Does it matter that you think concisely, clearly and are able to verbalize your points? Yeah, I kind of think it does.
I did; I may have misplaced a sentence and used a wrong transition. It's an anonymous message board. Who cares? Before you say you do, I am very, very good at english when I feel like it. You wouldn't want to bark up that tree.
I'm very confused. I gave you a huge compliment and you somehow reversed it.
Haha. My bad, I took that the wrong way and obviously wasn't thinking.

How are we fast approaching a date that occurred 9 years ago? Maybe we should put mathematics as a higher priority.
