The problem we have today has got to do with the wall. As a country, we are on a path where we are no longer the leader. More later. But before I go, let me ask you if, when you see a piece of merchandise lying on the floor in a grocery store, do you walk past it or do you pick it up and put it on the shelf where it should be. If you decide that you do not want something, do you walk back to the shelf you took it from or do you place it on the nearest shelf and walk away. When you are the last person to leave a room in your house, do you turn off the lights? In your office, do you make the effort to turn off the light in a meeting room that is not occupied. Better still, if you are running a meeting, do you erase the chalkboard after the meeting?

The reason I asked these questions is because I see a great change in America today than when I immigrated here in the mid 70's. and that is what is wrong with America. They have lost their collective will to excel. Instead of striving to sustain a country of success, a powerful few is now aspiring to create islands of success.

Or else why would you in your case of giving that worker more money than he makes, or the lady advancing her water logic fail to see the larger picture and feel comfortable within the narrow confines of your "own" world.
