So our electronics are made in the Asian countries, our oil comes from the east and our beautiful diamonds from Canada. Like a retired race horse the United States is slowly working its way into the dark ages. The only recent great claim to fame we have is the invention of the internet and our GPS network.  Well our GPS network is old and crumbling at the heals and the internet will soon be reinvented by our Asian friends.

The go green movement is another area were the US is going to fall behind. Our laws restrain the necessary development as well as our need for sustainability. Unlike other countries around the world we in the US have not deemed sustainability and conservation as a high priority in our future existence. This being said we are far behind other nations in building long term infrastructures. Don’t get me wrong, I have faith in the US and feel we’ll eventionally make the changes to benefit our race on a global scale we’ll just have to buy it from someone else.
