So being half Arabic gives you a unique view in to ancient history? Maybe you can help me out a bit, I am a little fuzzy on where the Library of Alexandria was :) This great store of ancient information. > Have we forgot which country discovered electricity, both AC and DC, > created the light bulb, much less the microprocessor, and all the rest? > Yet you really want to compare the educational background of this > country to another. > Nope, not correct. This country did not discover electricity. Haven't you ever heard of the Baghdad battery? It was around long before the Vikings even voyaged this way. The AC motor was invented by Nikola Tesla who was Serbian although, he did live in the US. Also, we didn't invent the computer either. You might want to look in to the Antikythera mechanism believed to have been around from around 100 BC. We have ancients who knew more than many in our country today. Obviously overall more people have a general education, but we should be learning from previous advancements in history. > Even more so, roads, modern day cities, etc. The list of what other > countries do to take after things we have done in the US, or US > technology is endless.

Like making sure the entire country has electricity :) This is not the case either. Our infrastructure is horrible in this country. Have you ever traveled outside of the country? I travel fairly often and many other countries in the world take much better care and have much more modern infrastructure. You have high speed rail in other countries, you have bridges that aren't falling apart, and you have an electrical grid that isn't ancient. We have serious problems in this country that need to be addressed. I don't know of any other countries that are using what we have done in any kind of template, unless it's what not to do. Our infrastructure is a stack of dominoes and if they start falling we are in trouble. -- *Nathan Hamiel* http://hexsec.com <http://hexsec.com>http://twitter.com/nathanhamiel blog: www.neohaxor.org
