I disagree. There is no dearth of talent in the country. However, what needs to be overhauled is the American lifestyle and above all - values. In a land that overly worships the human body and physical prowess, where fashion models, movie "stars", "rock stars" and basketball players with IQs of idiots are paid tens of millions of dollars, the human mind takes second place. And to add insult to injury, practitioners of the human mind are expected to continuously "deliver the goods". And deliver them to whom? To those who have no concept of the word "THINK". Mathematics, physics and the sciences are abandoned in preference to college courses in Music, until the future musician begins the course. Then there is a rude awakening - Hell! Music and Math are the same!! So what was he/she expecting? Heavy Metal? Next step? Drugs! Only an unhealthy mind needs to get stoned.
Bill Gates onced remarked that after the Chinese, South Indians were the smartest people in the world. I am hereby correcting his perception of the Chinese. They are better than South Indians at just one thing - Industrial Spying. The South Indians are born mathematicians and are the smartest. They do not resort to spying of any kind. Although their mentality and thought processes need to be revamped concerning concepts such as Money, Wealth and Self Esteem, I would still take them anytime, anywhere, cause they are reliable.
And now, we have the Chinese President visiting Microsoft and to add insult to injury, he's Insulted - yes, Insulted, for crying out loud -because Bill did not export enough of our livelihoods to the Communists.
