Thaiand To The Rescu

America can't do it today. We've became too complacent, placing href="http://greed and profit before innovation. We've hidden our sense of national mediocrity behind phony wars. We've invested all our dreams and ideals in scams and schemes and sacrificed the promise of the future to feel like tough guys for a little while.

We are Americans, warts and all. We need to start making some changes if we ever decide to give up bullying and start leading again.
