Capitalism and individualism wanes and dies in the forced equality of socialism.

When the education system is produced and managed by those that have no experience in starting and running a business or in researching and inventing new solutions for problems, socialism is thier only mantra. Education is far too important to implement as a solution to day care. The costs for the care givers may seem low (teachers work for comparatively low salaries), but the long term costs to society and the under-achieving children that become the future voters is very high!

I see no hope of reversing the above in the U.S. With these trends strengthening, perhaps someday we will be allowed to join the European Union or become a Chinese province.

At least the founding fathers have long since died before seeing hope for their great dream disappear.

One sad senior citizen.

The morals have fallen through the floor and we have more kids born who don't know who their fathers are and then the govt comes in and pays these children to have more children.

I'm not a religious right winger, but a govt that has people relaying on them for everything, can tell these people what to do.]]>Mar 29th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/Mar 29th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/Mar 29th 2010 10:11AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/Mar 29th 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/Mar 29th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/26/u-s-drops-shamefully-to-fifth-in-most-networked-countries-lis/1. sweden 2. singapore 3. denmark and 4. switzerland; sweden, denmark and swizterland have some of the most generous social (read socialist) policies on the planet and provide things like universal health care and college educations for their citizens, several even PAY a mother to stay home with her children for their first few years AND provide child care ALL paid for by TAX money...

Sweden is ranked as no 1 on the networked countries lista and you might know that that country has a good mix of socialism and capitalism. So please do not say that the USA is not ranking higher due to too much socialism! In general Swedes has an average higher level of education. The country invests a lot in broad band and the number of personal computers are higher that it is in the US. Higher education is free and a diploma from a Swedish high school counts as the same level as the first year of college in the US. Almost all schools in Sweden are public. Sweden does not have a poor class like in the US that lacks basic health care, good day care for working parents and health care is universal. Swedes are healthier that their US counter parts and to a lower cost per capita.
