I like the video, but I am skeptical. Statistics are misleading and it seems too much like propaganda and scare tactics. Also, when did homeland security become a major, is violation of privacy rights and domestic espionage a legitimate profession? I don't necessarily agree that the stats mentioned in the video spell doom for the United States. I am not sure what factors are critical to a country's success and while I agree that having a populace that is on the forefront of technology is vitally important, I think our greatest strength is our universities and other institutes of higher learning.

After reading your blog, I completely agree that this video can be used as propaganda and statistics are very often skewed. You bring quite an interesting perspective that I didn’t even consider before. And seriously, why is homeland security a new major?
ReplyDeletePS Sorry your link on my page was not the right one for a while. I just assumed http://m3000.blogspot.com/ was an old blog of yours.
Michael,
