The guys that put a man on the moon are in nursing homes. For that matter, the guy that set foot on the moon is dead. Academics, in the pride of themselves, are as silly as the next class of people. Higher vision is needed and, currently, we lack that.
We HAVE more with less work because we are selling our birthright and we exploit the labor of others around the world. We make bargains with devils for the sake of a cheeseburger or two. Bon apetit!
Crime is down due, currently to aging population, boomer transition, and 2A issues - none of which have anything to do with Maritians.
Unfortunately, our progress and blessing rested in God’s mercy. We do little to deserve that today and our past glories are frail foundations for living in scientific fictions.
The facts don't support you on an aging population. Lots of new folks here are having babies.
Population is growning.
We have more with less work because we are wasting less, and are becoming more efficient.
If you still have children living in your home, you are WAY too young to be so negative.
We are progressing faster and faster than ever. The information that it took 200 years to put in the Library of Congress is now created in about 10 minutes.
'Sup to you. You can see the glass as half empty.
