Have you seen this 3 1/2 min video?

I think it would make for great discussion

The most honest three and a half minutes of television, EVER... - YouTube

Bah; bunch of crap, in my opinion. Show is just liberals speaking in hindsight. Situations where they get to say what they wish they could have said.

I predict lousy ratings, but lots of awards. Liberals make shows like this that are depressing and/or boring and no one watches them, and then they give themselves lots of awards.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. You don't do numbers.

I'll try it. It worked and I watched the entire clip.

I do not see "greatness" though be determined on where he rank in terms of math education, reading percentage, citizens who believe in angels, etc. I certainly does have something to do with national debt though as well as with support of education, inventors, artists, and the like.

I listened to the video and my first thought was that the method of measurement can and does skew the results. For instance in the manner that countries compare infant mortality. Having said that I do believe the actor has a point regarding our status in the world as to education, etc. It is all the more important and reinforces the need to have a strong determined leader. Presently we are stuck with a defeatist and an apologiist which is having a heavy drag on this country's desire to gain back the respect of the world

I totally agree Rubicon. The aplogistic attitude we have in our "political correctness' society keeps us from achieving greatness. In order to 'stand your ground' you must offend someone. We shoot people, we bomb people, but WATCH YOUR TONGUE. How does that work?

I will be proven correct on this show, despite your childish condescension.
