What is the Future of America?

America is changing rapidly. Our ethnic makeup is changing with the influx of foreigners flooding our country legally and illegally. Our cultural traditions are being changed, replaced, or destroyed by those who will not assimilate and are frequently enabled by those who believe this country in its current form should be torn down and rebuilt to be more multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.
It is now ''progresssive'' to attack corporations and the wealthy because it is not fair that one man should profit more than another. Our educational system
is in disarray, and we dare not say why. Politcal correctess forbids merit and constructive criticism. We have failed to educate our children to keep up with the developing countries and be able to compete in the new global economy.
Grandfather International Education Reform Report - by MWHodges
Are we now going to surrender our previous pre-eminence in technology, medicine, electronics, automobiles, and science? Will we quickly become a second rate country? If we continue to welcome all comers into our country without emphasizing taking in the best of the best, we will end up as the worst of the worst.
What is the reason for this? Is it the desire for too much immigration, with too many conflicting cultures? A culture of envy which calls for ever higher taxation to fund entitlements and even the playing field? Have we lost our admiration for education, ambition, merit and hard work? Are we proud of a government that is run as a petty fiefdom with minimal oversight and little fiscal responsibility?
What are the advantages of multiculturalism and multi-ethnicity? Are the incoming cultures superior to ours? Should we adopt the economic and cultural systems of those who flood our shores?

The percentage of original European settlers of this country will continue to
shrink and at some point will become increasingly irrelevant.
U.S. Population Could Reach 438 Million by 2050, and Immigration Is Key
by Carl Haub

''(February 2008) A new report from the Pew Research Center projects that immigration will propel the U.S. population total to 438 million by 2050, from 303 million today (see Figure 1). Along with this growth, the racial and ethnic profile of Americans will continue to shift—with non-Hispanic whites losing their majority status. (U.S. Population Projections: 2005-2050''

Is this good for America? Is this the future you would pick for your grandchildren?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
