STUFF VS FACT

Reading the two articles let me to realize a few things. Both articles represent polar opposite views. The Cohen article represents the fact, that yes American is here and this is what our economy is built upon and we should change it for the betterment of the world.The belief is that "our economic base is built on over consumption and waste of finite natural resources" Which economically is true. America consumes more than any country in the world but the population barely contains over 5% of the world's population.

This is true, look at all the research.

The Heritage Foundation view is that we should not be ashamed of what America has worked hard for and it does not matter what or how we built this country, this is America and we are proud. Its not about consumer child vs. consumer child. If our child wants it, let them have and forget about where it came from and where it will go.

The point is, If you want to become and stay the "greatest" country in the world, its important to lead by example. That example should be- "One Earth, One Population, Take care of it."
