well, more so than some Americans. but, i agree that some of the tech stuff coming out of japan is unreal. :)
Seems to me that they have adopted the good-natured competitive spirit that used to thrive in this country. Once you adopt the notion that if you fail at an endeavor you dust yourself off and move on instead of disemboweling yourself, there can be nothing but a stream of good ideas.
It’s so American, the notion that if at first you don’t succeed try, try again. Keep trying until you find something you’re good at.
I think we’re going to erode that over the next four years.
Initiative will turn to complacency, complacency to laziness, laziness to sloth.
