"Until you've walked a mile in another persons shoes"

Being European but having lived and worked in the US I can see both sides of the coin. I just hope the economic juggernaut of the US continues to innovate to maintain its position in the world, otherwise the chips will start to be cashed in and as the largest debtor nation in the world I don't think anyone will be forgiving debt like they do in the third world.

"There is a time and place for everything in this world"

A classic example of this and I can say this being British is look at the Empire we once had and the economic strangle hold we had over much of the world. All good and bad things have a beginning a middle and an end, we can only hope that the end comes long after we are gone.
