We are the world leaders in so many ways and we can be so much better in so many ways. So, while acknowledging that we have it great, I also submit to you that one measure of our potential is our room for improvement. And I don't mean along party lines. Just think of what we can do now plus how much more we can do.
I think success by comparison is short sighted for our country.
MHO.

Good post! This is what has been lost in our society for much too long. We have automatically assumed that we are the best in technological advancement because for so long, it was true. Problem is, we rested on our laurels while the competition worked hard to surpass us.
I hope at the end of this bad economical down turn, business leaders remember that we must continuously strive to be the best and stay at the top. The competition will never rest and neither should we.
