Why do we have to be number one? Why do we have to even be a ‘super power’? Is economic superiority and military might the end all and be all of our existence?
We are 14th in scientific literacy, 9th in adult literacy, 44th in life expectancy for women, 9th in GDP per capita, but we are 1st in military spending and adults prosecuted per capita and prisoners per capita and municipal waste generation. (Per http://www.nationmaster.com/statistics ).
I think it is time we adjust our priorities.
How come Iceland gets to be #1 in net happiness and we are only 13th.
