<<United States used be looked at as a beacon of hope and cultural nexus for the entire world. Something changed. >>
The fortunes of counties (and people) ebb and flow over time in a somewhat random fashion. Although in theory, sustained progressive policies could preserve a country's dominance, the desire and foresightedness necessary to implement these policies ebb and flow too. What's required to reverse the current trend is a good scare, like Pearl Harbor or Sputnik. (I don't view 9/11 as serving that function, since there was no tangible objective for the country to focus on.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
