Part of loosing our technological edge as a country is because American people have become lazy. Specially our young people.

This shows in lack of interest in science and math, high drop out, lack of interest in Graduate school.

I fear another huge deficit of involved and energetic citizenship, one who really think about long term health of country and its survival based in founders principles.

...American people have become lazy. Specially our young people.

Does this explain Barack Hussein Obama's popularity?

If the American people are so lazy why can the Japanese build high quality cars here?

The problems at Chrysler aren’t from America loosing any edge, they’re from Chrysler willingly designing and shipping crap. They’re too addicted as a company to the words “good enough”, you can have the best minds in the world at a company but if the culture accepts crap outputs they’re going to output crap.
