“For what it’s worth, new poll shows America is LESS respected than before.”

That’s scary, but hardly surprising. That’s what 50+ years of unjust invasions will do.

“For what it’s worth, new poll shows America is LESS respected than before.”

America is also LESS polluted than before….

From the Univesrrsity of Michigan…

Here we are 40 years later, the U.S.
population has increased by more than 50%,
traffic volume (miles driven) in the U.S. has
increased 160%, and real GDP has increased
204%; and yet air quality in the U.S. is better
than ever – nitrous dioxide, sulfur dioxide,
carbon monoxide and lead have all decreased
between 46% and 92% between 1980 and
2008.

I can’t seem to cut and paste the chart. Very compelling data.

Hello everyone.

For what it’s worth, new poll shows America is LESS respected than before.

…the question came up in a mob movie about whether it is better to be feared or loved, when it comes to maintaining a nation’s status and way of life, it appears that it is better to be feared.
