Yikes- Thanks, but I think I'd rather wrestle rabid badgers than get involved with that Foreign Affairs group. <g> From my POV- here in middle America most don't really know what the rest of the world thinks of us. Frankly, we don't really care either. Probably not a good thing, but that's the way it is. Compared to the 2nd and 3rd worlds, there are no poor people in the US- just varying degrees of wealth. So I wouldn't worry about the ol' USA. Worry about those poor slobs in Indonesia, India and central Africa, etc.. They'll get the worst of it if the world economy implodes. Poor here means maybe you get your cable tv cut off. Poor there means you starve to death. TW

I would NOT like to be a poor person in the USA for a start. Even the poorest of the poor in this country have better chances than 95% of the world's population. If you'd grown up poor in this country you'd know that.
