In the present period the United States of America hands down is the greatest and most wealthy nation in the history of the human race. And as we look at the other players out there, well there is not even a close second. Our GDP alone is 5 times as great as the second highest nation. Our population of 300 million is the third largest in the world and we have the greatest middle class lifestyle of any civilization ever created. And our middle class is the largest in the world.

The United States has the most honest government and one of the freest and most healthy populations on the Planet. America also has the worlds most powerful military and is able to defend the nation against any enemy. The United States has one of the cleanest fresh water supplies and the best over all sewer treatment systems. It is readily apparent that the United States is at the top of this food chain for a reason.

Well, Quite Frankly, this is not good enough yet! As I am impressed with what our ancestors have achieved here, I see a lot of work to be done. And now is no time to rest on our laurels and sit in bathhouses and slap each other on the butt in celebration. No Sir, this is but Act IV of a set of books which will encompass three trilogies or nine books in all and we are not even thru the fourth act of a 26 Act play in the first book of the first trilogy. So it is time we collect all the frolickers and kick them in the ass and tell them to stop sitting on it. There is work to be done, because as good as we are and as far as we have come, quite frankly this is not good enough yet. Think on this in 2006.
