Here's an excerpt:<br><br>
"Arthur Miller, echoing the poet Archibald MacLeish, liked to say that
the essence of America was its promises. That was a long time ago.
Limitless greed, unrestrained corporate power and a ferocious addiction
to foreign oil have led us to an era of perpetual war and economic
decline. Young people today are staring at a future in which they will
be less well off than their elders, a reversal of fortune that should
send a shudder through everyone. <br><BR><br><BR>
The U.S. has not just misplaced its priorities. When the most powerful
country ever to inhabit the earth finds it so easy to plunge into the
horror of warfare but almost impossible to find adequate work for its
people or to properly educate its young, it has lost its way entirely."<BR><br><BR>Link to the whole column:<BR><br><BR>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/26/opinion/26herbert.html?_r=3&hp<BR><br><BR>Sunil<br><BR><br><BR><br>
