RE: "American universities are full of people from India and China. They know what it is worth" Yes they're the children of the wealthy from those countries. You're not going to find chinese phesants in US universites. Just proves being born into wealth provides a much better chance of success in life because opportunities will be much better. Oh and I'm sick of you automatic responce that anyone who doesn't agree with you is "small minded attitudes". You can go shove it up your own arse. No more responses from me.

>Education, a spirit of entrepreneurship and hard work, along with a dose of intelligence and creativity - those are the tickets to future prosperity. Merely being born in America counts for little or nothing.> Education - On a percentage and absolute number basis America is still ahead. Spirit of Entrepreneurship - Still alive and kicking in America. However, I am surprised at how fast it is developing in India. Hard Work - Americans work as hard and as smart as Indians and Chinese on the average. In terms of effective use of their time, Americans are still ahead. Intelligence and creativity - No one has a monopoly on that. Being in America helps too. Just walk to a Barnes and Noble or a Public Library and you have so many resources. So, at any point if the US worker faces competition, he can quickly catch up. -Arun

American universities are full of people from India and China. They know what it is worth -- even if they have to bust their ass to do it. At the Indian Institute of technology, they get 300,000 aplications for 3,000 student positions each year. Those students go on to graduate school anywhere in the world they want to go -- they are the best of the best. I am sick of the small minded attitudes so often expressed here. Education, a spirit of entrepreneurship and hard work, along with a dose of intelligence and creativity - those are the tickets to future prosperity. Merely being born in America counts for little or nothing. As for Bush -- he knows nothing of the world. We have a war going on in Iraq to prove it. And you hype on me for not being optimistic? Mish
