The quoted Barack Obama: "It makes no sense for China to have better rail systems than us, and Singapore having better airports than us. And I just learned that China now has the fastest supercomputer on Earth - that used to be us."
One would ask why it makes no sense?
Strongest power?
China invented printing and gunpowder, but a humble Chinese would never say "that used to be us", now that China falls behind the West in updating those ancient inventions for more sophisticated modern use.
the point of idealism is thinking of something ideal that would take a spartan effort to pull off. this is only beyond our reach because of our loss of the ability to work collectively....
Tom is a brilliant man. He is occasionally wrong which goes with being human. But he is right so much more often, I find him consistently worth reading and listening to.
I could only listen to the 1st 10 mins. of this propoganda. Typical American Cyclops. i.e. "Tunnel visioned". "The Pole that holds up the tent" ???. This guy is freakn' nuts.
"Superior Political System" ??? Gawwd. He needs some political and military history.
I sure though . . . .he has a dumb-downed audience.

@ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR Don't divide the country on the basis of class. You're playing into the hands of the corporations if you do that.

Tell us again Thomas why we should invade Iraq. It's the imperial lap dogs like Friedman that have put America in the mess it is.
