then what on earth are we all doing here???

Upon emailing the link to a friend at home he replied "Surely there is some mistake. America is clearly a "number two" no?"

Nice to see that it was reprinted from the Austin Chronicle.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

"Seventeen percent [of Americans] believe the earth revolves around the sun once a day (The Week, Jan. 7, 2005)." Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :o

51% think the sun shines out of Bush's arse... :o :D

These stat's indicating what I've been observing in my time here.

The US does seem to be facing a variety of economic, educational and social crisis. Though this article looks a little imbalanced the trend are clear. The underlying causes of these, I would argue, brought on by a combination of complacency, arrogance and greed amongst American business leaders and politicians.

I'm not blind to the problems facing other countries, UK included, but I can't imagine who in the US has the vision and clout to turn some of these trends around.

MMM wondered where i got my suntan :D :D :wink: :)
