nedhamson1 says:

Doom and gloom is almost as popular as trying to predict the next trend or "thing," or claiming that the rise of The New Kids On the Block was going to rewrite pop music. So writing that China will be the new America and that America is in permanent decline is popular but goofy and wrong. Jim Fisher gives us some good reasons to say: Not So Much to China's Up and US is Down!

We have been there before.  Japan wrote the US off as it soared economically in the 1980s and 1990s.  In “Work Without Managers” (1990), I recorded author Akio Morita’s remark from his book, “The Japan That Can Say, No!”(1989): “Americans look ahead 10 minutes, while Japanese look ahead 10 years.”  By 1999, Japan was looking ahead to a crippling recession.  So much for prophesy of gloom and doom.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://peripateticphilosopher.blogspot.com/2009/08/report-of-decline-of-united-states-is.html"><DIV>America is an idea, and that idea releases the human spirit to fill its potential in some creative way, or not.  Freedom and expression are universal needs and America will remain strong and great, and yes powerful as well as long as it is sanctuary for the expression of such needs.  John Quincy Adams understood the American conscience.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9D2C8110-108D-47FD-9717-ADB6BC547E72/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
