false 500673 1 <p> What do George W. Bush, Wal-Mart, Halliburton, gangsta rap, and SUVs have in common? They're all among the hundred ways in which America is screwing up the world. The country that was responsible for many, if not most, of the twentieth century's most important scientific and technological advancements now demonizes its scientists and thinkers in the twenty-first, while dumbing down its youth with anti-Darwin/pro-"Intelligent Design" propaganda. The longtime paragon of personal freedoms now supports torture and illegal wiretapping&#8212spreading its principles and policies at gunpoint while ruthlessly bombing the world with Big Macs and Mickey Mouse ears. </p> <p> At once serious-minded and satirical, John Tirman's <i>100 Ways America Is Screwing Up the World</i> is an insightful, unabashed, entertaining, and distressing look at where we've gone terribly wrong&#8212from the destruction of the environment to the promotion of abhorrent personal health and eating habits to the "wussification" of the free press&#8212an alternately admonishing and amusing call to arms for patriotic Blue America. </p> 488780 1 8 2006 100 Ways America Is Screwing Up the World total:35|5:5|4:11|3:12|2:7| 35 119 59 8 0 0 false false Wed May 13 14:43:42 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 14:43:42 -0700 2009 100 Ways America is Screwing Up the World may not be specifically intended to address that question, it certainly is a step toward some com...more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 11:44:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 11:48:02 -0700 2009
Each 'chapter' is a way in which America is screwing up the world. So, in a way, a short story. At least it helps the content move along.
