Yes, but with all the self esteem we have, we're very well positioned to compete in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Have I recently mentioned the mountains of liabilities we have no idea how we're going to pay for? Having an uncritical population also allows the government to simply ignore the facts and sell the public snake oil on a daily basis.
