[ I do not accept the “dying superpower” connotation here ]

I do. We elected Obama as our President and are leaning towards doing so again. Definitely “a dying superpower.”

sadly I must agree with you KG. If we as a nation, are so complacent,and more concerned with the latest iPhones, gadgets, and what not's, we are as the frog who started out in cold water and are now bubbling to a boil.

MY big concern is for the young generation that really doesn't give a hoot about elections and who our leaders are. They have been weaned onto video games and surfboards!
