Fall of America and Rise of the Rest

To All God's Children,


-->Like Johnny Depp said (and was eventually reprimanded for it) America is like a spoiled teenager in comparison to Europe. We really are. The alcohol consumption, irresponsibility of driving afterward, wasteful spending, and even our consumption of too much junk food all contribute to our childishness. I think this is why many say the economic crisis is the end of the American way of life – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As Fareed Zakaria put it: "This is not... the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." It just means the American lifestyle is vanishing and a new way of life will emerge from China, India, or one of the many other countries with influence.

Peace be with you
