So what is my point in these lists? Well it must be obvious to you as much as it is with me. In 1988 The United States ranked the top of each of these lists. In 25 years of thinking our shit don't stink and focusing on issues that only suit to serve the upper classes, we have lost sight of the things that are important and have been surpassed by so many that we have fallen completely off these lists.  Lets pull our heads out of the sand and face reality for a change. Love to all.
