Assistance we can for them to do that. My next question, a more difficult question. Im not suggesting any governmental problem. Murraya book by charles a little while ago. He talked about the moral decline of america. A lot of that moral decline, he focused on the underclass. Somethinge is not many people in my age group had when we were growing up, he focused a little bit on the upper class. Things that he focused on, which i think, collectively is not a huge amount of money, maybe it had a penny to each Prescription Drug you have, but i think it is bad for the fabric of society. I realize it is legal and i am not just targeting you because it is common across the board. It came up earlier that you are making whatever, 90 million, 20 million a year. That is a half cent off of every prescription you guys make. The point marie made was that made was it murray that chief executive got along making a lot less, and they make a lot less insightful companies around the globe. The point he ma
I think there is something to that. The way i would summarize it would be to say the United States is still the most powerful country in the world, but the margins of our lead are contracting. And what that means in terms of policy is that big problems in the world cannot be solved without the United States, but the United States can no longer be solving them alone or be dictating to others exactly how they get solved. So the premium in these coming years for the United States, i think, as the leading power in the world, is going to be on Coalition Building and alliance management. When we think about terrorism, think about cyber terrorism and big ideas of the chinese around the world i think the nature of our leadership is changing. It has to change. Ive written a lot about u. S. Power. At the end of the day when you add it all up, all the factors of power in the world, compare china, russia, United States, the United States still comes out ahead in almost everything, innovation, demo

Became human beings that god indeed was voting, that we are all equal. I suggest to you as dr. Forbes has said that our voice is indeed our vote and that we vote every time we speak out, we vote everywhere we go, on every issue. Now dr. Forbes also talked about 9 11, which everyone agrees was an act of terrorism. But i am a child of the 60s from birmingham, alabama. And there was another affect terrorism that hammed in september, four little girls were bombed in a church across 16th street. I remember the anxiety and angst that come around that day, every year, one of those little girls sister went to school with me. It is also an act of terrorism that this country should do great penance for. Because, that act of m terrorism, unlike the one on 9 11, is attach ed to the infl t inflected moral aptitude of this country. There is a lie being spread around and most of us are drinking the kool aid. The lie says that all people are not created equal the lie says somebody has to win and someb
