Being "behind" is a relative term. To the people living in the Middle East, the people in America could be behind, and that can be considered both true or not true. I mean, here in America, we value freedom, whereas they value a much more religious life.

They see us as Pagans, and are they wrong? Look at how much smut is online. We have so much porn spewing out of America, and you know where it comes from? The San Fernando Valley, where I live. Is porn wrong? I don't think it is, but they sure do. Does that mean they're wrong? Who's to say?

What's wierd is how you can trace an arc from every superpower that has existed, technically starting with Ur, to the United States, and guess what? China's next. That last paragraph really had nothing to do with this thread, but it's an interesting thing to think about, isn't it?
"China"

We'll bang heads with them boys someday, and guess what? We'll probably lose. I hate to even think about it....

Lucy...you got some splainin to do!
