If someone from a different culture took a serious look at the way we Americans live, in context, compared to the way people in other countries live, what would they say about us?
They'd see an increasingly frantic public, hoarding staples and staying off the road, with our fancy cars safely ensconced in our huge McMansions.
They'd see people who are scared to be in their homes without guns, locked and loaded.
They'd see media saturated with sexual images and inuendo, but young people who don't know how to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
I'm sure it would be very confusing. Especially if you looked to our fearless leader for guidance.
As Thomas Friedman so optimisically puts it...we're in a 34-year slump.
