How can the U.S. be third world when we produce so many intellegent, productive attorneys?

And don't forget our philosophers, journalists, media pundents, lobbiests, athletes, actors, environmentalists and other "useful" trades that make a society trully a powerful economy.

"And don't forget our philosophers, journalists, media pundents, lobbiests, athletes, actors, environmentalists and other "useful" trades that make a society trully a powerful economy."

Sounds like the type that manned the "B" ship in "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." I loved the part when they got to the new planet and decided to use leaves as currency, and then to combat inflation decided to burn the forests!

And amen to the Haghai Sophia!
