Basil - That is a very good link. It shows that although the U.S. thinks quite highly of themselves, the rest of the world has a slightly different perspective.

I really like the part about prisons and the statistics that, without a doubt, prove that the 'land of the free', just aint what it used to be.

Its about time the citizens of the U.S. took a good luck at their place among nations and decide if they can continue to coast on a reputation that was built by the blood, sweat and tears of honest, hard-working people. Most of the world sees only a nation of ignorant and arrogant consumers.
