I've been to ten other countries, some for months at a time, so I've seen how people live in other parts of the world, and I agree with you 100%. We can no longer rest and brag on the laurels that the previous generations laid for us. There has been quite a few times I've returned to the US dissapointed in our infrastructure, technical finesse, business leadership and government. We as Americans need to work to be the best again - we can do better.
