Why the Scandinavians and Europeans continue to kick US butt

[sjdnb]

Read some of the statements in the Federalist Papers. The Founding Fathers came from matured cultures, hoping to bring experience and enlightenment along with ideas to be intertwined into a democratic system.

Unfortunately, the message was absconded and replaced with the immature rhetoric of an under-developed culture - who chose to disregard centuries of development, so as to promote it's own self-serving agenda. Which is why we are falling farther and farther behind all other nations in terms of quality of life, mortality, health care, innovation, economy, etc.

Greed and lack of appreciation for culture/history has undermined what might have been.

Union. Wait.......

4. "We"? We are not falling behind other nations

in terms of quality of live, health care, economy. Yes some lesser americans do not have the benefit of lobbyists or golden parachutes but then all they're good for is to be a cog in the machines of industry and war. Happily looking at Lindsey Lohan's privy parts...

Absonded excellent word :thumbsup:
