Another problem is that American intellegence levels are declining.
I go to a voc. tech. school and people here dont even know basic physics. At the begining of the year my Physics teacher held up two objects and asked if they would fall at the same rate! (Basic physics you learn in elemetary school, right?) Practically everyone said "No". My sister goes to the town high school and she is doing physics in 9th grade. They take the physics MCAS in 9th grade! Appearently cities like brockton have a lower average intellegence level than a pre-school.
I bet most kids in this school would be willing to kill for shoes (again, thank you brockton). Appearently science is non-existant in most American minds. Thats why NASA's budget is so low. And since we are so far in debt I doubt we will make it to mars before the sun goes nova. Other countries probably will have colonies on the moon and mars soon enough.
The only thing that we have done that has any significance is launching New Horizons which was last year(?)
I wish Americans would actually start learning again so in a few years we have better technology, and arn't sitting around trying to figure out if rocks are edible, and fighting wars to get better shoes from other people ( "For nike!").
And about the whole "intellegent" design thing, I am just going to say, I doubt god threw dinosaur bones in just to confuse the heck out of us.
