#1 at blowing shit up (which understandably huge in world politics) is only going to carry the country for so long...
They curious thing is that the United States actually made a huge leep in the UN's human development index last year. 9 spots up to #4. What exactly has improved in the US in the last year? Or is everywhere else just shitting the bed now? Hah. Canada used to consistently rank way above the states, we took a dive down to 8th spot from 4th in 2010. We can't even hold that stat against you now.
