  • America: Is This the End of an Era? [View article]
    our weakness is that we mistake the wealth that came our way from being the last and strongest man standing after ww2 as our rightful "destiny". our strength comes from being able to assemble teams of multi cultural, ethnic,religious, members and have them work together solving problems. bigotry,xenephobia,and our "masterrace of the universe" worldview work against our greatest global strength. we also could use a little more dust bowl work ethic in our under 30 generation, but that will come.
