Really? And you get that from this table, do you? The *worst*? You know what? I think the we (the U.S.) should cut off aid entirely to the rest of the world. The rest of the world has a serious habit of biting the hand that feeds it. So let them fend for themselves. And here are some guidelines for "living in the shadow of the United States of America": 1. Don't call us when you need help fending off the next power-mad psycho bent on enslaving the entire planet. 2. Don't call us when you've finished erecting the full-on socialist state you're busy creating in Europe, and you don't like the results. 3. Don't come here to escape your crushing taxes. 4. Don't come here to avoid your crappy socialized health care system. 5. Don't expect sympathy when 3000 of your citizens become victims of the next Islamist nut job with a plan, who claims he hates the U.S. but inexplicably attacks you instead. 6. Don't come here to find "opportunity" or "the promise of a better life." That includes you, Mexico. 7. Don't expect our help in creating an economy or a society that actually works. Our founding documents are all on the internet for you to peruse. That's how we did it and how we do it. 8. Don't expect to benefit from any technological advances created in the U.S., including new life-saving drugs. 9. Don't call us. Yeah, the U.S. really sucks. And we love hearing it over and over again from people who are cut off from the fruits of observation, and are really incapable of doing anything but whining. Or who really just have a socialist or communist agenda. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
