Make that a village idiot, because it takes a village of such idiots in order to produce yet another of their own kind. And you would know that! |

United States Falling Behind EVERYONE In Physics, Science,Rockets, EVERYTHING.
Currency fluctations have occured from time to time. I hope that
Britain eventually joins the Euro. I think it will have to eventually. I think it is probably inevitable that the US with 300 million is going to give way to Asia. China and India both have 1 billion apiece. I think too that another major factor has been that Europe is now coming together and producing world class institutions. However the relative decline of America has been considerably faster than raw demographics would predict. Fundamentalism has grown since the time of Kennedy and the Moon landings when the US was at its zerith. The right wing of the Republican Party has been waging a clever campaign. It is putting out that what is needed is folksy frontier syle remedies and has contrasted the (real) America with the élites of Washington. Simplistic solutions are basically what caused Iraq. As far as America leading the world away from fossil fuels is concerned - yes it has the resources - but does it have the scientific expertise. Remember all the expertise in in private industry. I think the decline of America is bound to happen on a demographic resource basis. The decline though under the Shrub has been quite dramatic. BTW - I did say the FAR East. The Middle East is an area with potential, but is being held back by Religion. - Ian Parker |

The rest of the world has already noticed, but Americans are too wrapped up in their vanities to see what is already glaringly obvious to the most casual of observers. I'm going to try to codify this phenomenon in a research proposal. Perhaps it can be reversed, but I doubt it. Impossible. Since just about everythnig done in U.S. rocket science, wasn't rocket science, it was Raytheon science. Which is why a lot of US science people,with actual non zero science brains, started programs in non-Martian Solar Energy, PV Cells, RISC Computers, Parallel Procesors,, neo wind Energy, fiber optics, HDTV, CD, DVD, mp3, Ebooks, Blogs, Adpative A.I., WWW, On-Line Publishing, post-neandtheral robotics, drones, AUVs, AAVs, Cruise Missiles, Laser-Guided Bombs, and Stealth, and said to hell with the stooges running U.S. aero-science. Thirty years of Reagan Idiocracy. |

It is putting out that what is needed is folksy frontier syle remedies and has contrasted the (real) America with the élites of Washington. And had you studied American political history in depth going back to the 19th century, you'd find that things haven't changed much at all. Does Prohibition, a Constitutional amendment since rescinded by another Amendment, ring a bell with you? Guess who pushed that through?--it was an attempt at Christain sharia that went a long ways towards institutionalizing organized crime instead of promoting morality. Contemporary fundamentalists are pantywaists compared to their great-grandparents. These things have their cycles. Simplistic solutions are basically what caused Iraq. Yes, I see lots of simplistic short-term thinking here. As far as America leading the world away from fossil fuels is concerned - yes it has the resources - but does it have the scientific expertise. Remember all the expertise in in private industry. p-B11 aneutronic fusion, polywell; might be a surprise here I think the decline of America is bound to happen on a demographic resource basis. The decline though under the Shrub has been quite dramatic. BTW - I did say the FAR East. The Middle East is an area with potential, but is being held back by Religion. Religion is a reflection of the human culture; I don't hold much hope for the profoundly conservative Arab culture, locked in thousands of years of tribal culture and petty egotism. Don't dance on our grave just yet, we might pull you smugly sanctimonius Euros down with us. If your Muslim immigrants don't do that for us. --Damon |
