Americans as Winners

We're butt-kickers. We kick asses and take names. We cannot stand a loser. The place on the podium for America is the top step. That's been our character.

Today........China has more honor students than we have students. India is right on their heels. Japan has been pumping out students that our college kids simply cannot compete with. Twenty years ago, it was an accepted rule that if the Asian proportion in a classroom is very high, the best thing to do is to drop the class. We cannot compete.

The world has been, and is becoming even more, a place where information and technical education........wins. Our sedentary, energy drink addicted, obese HS students cannot seem to handle the federally mandated achievement tests. HS seniors cannot find Kansas on a map, let alone Pakistan. Our "president" is creating, out of ignorance, as much confusion about science as he can while he's in power. How do you guys think America will stack up in twenty years?
