For America to continue to lead the world, we will have to first join it.
Katie - I'm so happy you're writing!!!
This subject really gets me going. It pisses me off that Americans want it both ways. We want to own stock in companies that use Chinese labor, buy cars made by the ultra-efficient Japanese, drink French wine, wear Italian shoes, and have Mexian immigrants plowing our fields...but we don't want our precious less efficient population to lose jobs.
Too bad. Globalization is good for everyone. Allow the rest of the world to have the same opportunities as Americans and see how much faster we'll cure cancer, build a house on Mars, and live to 180.
I have a lot more to say, but it all boils down to: If Americans can't keep up, then they don't deserve to be called Americans. Being American is something people need to earn. Just because Indians, Mexicans, Germans, and Chinese do it better, doesn't mean we can build walls or make laws to pretend they don't exist.
Love,
Tim
