How often have we abused US, our media especially. When you talk to people, educated people, its very rare to find someone who doesn't have anything negative to say. Its a crime after all to be the sole leading power, when the rest of the world is struggling to catch up. I was shocked the other day to find that the state of California consumes more petroleum than whole of India. A degree of resentment was inevitable.
But this way of life, this blogging for example, this keyboard under my fingers , the screen where I am editing, the software that I am using, is all US. The world has never thanked US for this, hey I paid for that computer its mine now. I feel we fail to appreciate, the society that shaped it. I have a daily list of articles , blogs that I visit, now a days they are filled with US presidential campaign stories, which I don't find interesting. But it made me realize how dependent we are, how uncharitable we are.
