Americans cannot Function as a Country

Because they have always let other forces do this for them.

These forces were originally religious forces. That were much more powerful, and much more intelligent than they were.

But with the dawn of the Modern World, and the Reformation, these became the forces of Science and Industry. Which made them the richest people in history! And made them a different people.

They had learned a fundamental strategy - let forces larger than them, take over! And choose the forces that were the most profitable. Not the ones that were the most ethical.

This takes us up to the middle of the last Century, when America was its most powerful. Since then, it has gone into decline - and Americans have gone crazy, blaming one thing after another, for this decline. It never occurs to them, to blame themselves.

They made the same mistake, people had been making for thousands of years - they only thought of themselves, and no one else.
