“The greatest country in the world. Why? The Japs have a stronger economy. Man for man, the Israelis are better fighters. The European children test better than ours. And hell, I’d feel safer walking a dark street in Trinidad than I would West Baltimore. Yeah, we were the greatest country in the world once, but now we’re on our way out. In the next twenty years the rest of the world’s gonna run over us like a steamroller.”
