ahhhhh home sweet home. i LIVE for this..

on getting through airport security: never get behind old people. their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left. bingo, asians. they pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip on shoes. gotta love 'em!

"This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." A world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. Are these the principles on which our founding fathers would want in control of our country? Our global economy is extremely important in the success of the United States but we shouldn’t lay down our values for other countries. We are and always have been the example on which all other parts of the world strive for. True democracy.
