There has been a lot of public comment recently about America’s slippage in the various rankings – barometers of supremacy in which the U.S. once occupied the position of undisputed Number One
From per capita income to home ownership to literacy rates, America led the world, but now we are well down the ladder on most of those. Even in computer science and availability/speed of broadband Internet, the latest analyses show the U.S to be lagging behind most of Asia and half of Europe.
But there are still some areas that have America as Numero Uno. Some of these are gun ownership, murder, suicide, drug addiction, infant mortality, mercury pollution, prison population, STDs, cancer, heart disease, meat consumption, sugar consumption, TV viewing hours, military budget, WMD production and money spent on government officials to maintain the status quo.
