I am also an American, and I would like to add that this comment:
"The United States of America is one of the dumbest nations in the world."
came across far too intense and is unfair. We are no doubt still one of the
smartest. But our respect for and support of education is abismal, and it's
showing more and more as time passes. Ultimately, this, more than anything,
will be the cause of our fall from grace. Even if the exact cause is, say, a
resource war, we will have always known that it could have been avoided if
we'd learned more about alternative energy or respected another culture
before we plundered them.

list, but I felt that initial comment had to be addressed as it affects so
much, from this discussion on date formats to beyond.
