3. I Wish Michael Moore Would Do A Documentary On How Many Other Countries In The World ........
are far more advanced and growing than us. I've been fortunate to be well traveled. Before I got to travel I believed all the stories about how great we are in comparison to other countries. I've traveled extensively through Europe, Asia and South America and saw firsthand how these countries are in comparison to us. Watch some of the footage of what the MSM is showing us of other parts of the world. They show us the underdeveloped and undeveloped parts of these countries and don't show us the technological, architectural and transportational sides. I suspect that they are doing this on purpose to keep the image that our country is the worlds greatest - but that is fast fading. Our infrastructure is crumbling while in other countries it is flourishing. Why I just heard yesterday that China is in the process of building the worlds largest airport - that would be as big as Bermuda.

Last time I was in China - I was amazed by the amount of building and development that is going on over there. Look at the Mid East. On TV we see images of bombed out sections of Afghanistan and Iraq - yet they don't show us what is going on in Kuwait, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, etc.

I'd move to Europe in an instant just because of their fantastic transportation systems.

Most American's don't get out of this country. They have no concept of what is going on in other parts of the world. Most think that poor children are still starving in Europe. That's unfortunate - because they don't believe that poor children are starving in this country. Look at the numbers that came out earlier this week about poverty in America. It shameful.
