America The Beautiful, Not Productive
America is falling dreadfully behind in almost every area of business, technology and education. China, Korea, Malaysia, even India are surpassing our once supreme economy that was once the envy of the world.
Why is this occurring and why hasn't America come out of the slumber that we are in? Are we too concerned with terrorism, safety and entertainment for us to notice what's happening with our "strong" economy?
Do you know that we spend more on national defense then all other nations combined?
Did you know that we are losing highly educated people to other countries that are actually developing new technologies and putting them into action at an alarming pace? Half of IBM's 190,000 engineers and technical experts now reside overseas.
Why is GM spending so much on advertising their huge gas guzzling autos instead of focusing on alternatives like Toyota who is poised to take over GM as the world’s largest carmaker?
While we watch The Super Bowl and drink beer, many students in China are finishing up their fourth book on quantum physics. It's a fact that their educational system, along with other countries, is far beyond ours, and has been for quite some time, why? Why are we so complacent to lead fat, lazy, stupid, happy lives while we watch our economy take a back seat to other nations? Why are Americans the last to know what's happening in the world? Do we not care? Have we gotten too complacent in the times we live or are we just ignorant due to the propaganda of our nation being spewed all over us every time we sit down to watch an episode of ‘American Idol’ or some other goofy ass program?
How long will it be, before we can no longer support ourselves without the help of other nations? Is our laziness a good thing? Should we all just give up our economic status and the benefits that come with it so we can live off the land like our forefathers?
How do you define progress? Is progress a good thing, or does it just teach us that regression is an important part of life? How much longer will we be able to live our style of life at the rate we are going? Why are we not doing more?
