NOT TRUE!!!!! We DID go to the moon and conducted massive exploration and only stopped the moon missions when it was discovered conclusively that the moon is NOT made of cheese.

"Capricorn One"? Damn I'm old enough to remember the ACTUAL moon landing in 1969. Image was black and white and you could only see fuzzy figures, but it's still etched in my memory. I was only 7 years old but remember I realized it must have been something special for my parents to let me and my brother stay up so late to see it (it was around midnight if I remember when the left the lunar lander to actually walk on the moon).

Like I said it wasn't a racial or ethnocentric thing. Just there is more freedom here to do stuff.

Well, everyone know Elvis lives, no?

I don't hate America... I find it a fascinating social experiment!:

- "Professional wrestling"
- 0.3 miles/gallon SUV's
- 5000 episode daytime soap operas
- People who buy expensive cars and then take them directly to be customised for three times the purchase price.
- More firearms than people
- Televangelists
- "Reality TV"
- The fattest people on the planet
- People sueing game companies over hidden sexual content, while ignoring extreme violence
- Children who can't find their own country on a map of the world

Seriously, I've counted many Americans amongst my closest friends, but the United States doesn't have all the answers.

You'll have to look a bit deeper than the book covers. All the things you counted there pale in front of a fact that they can enforce their way through military/economic means to the farthest reaches of Earth, their government has the will to do so, and their taxpayers support that.

You should say any culture with an open free-market economy. During WWII it was the non-facist/non-dictator countries (America, England, etc) that were the only countries able to totally mobilize their economies.

And yes, it was a great day for the US (and the world), when they landed on the moon back in 1969. But seems to me that if it hadn't been for a bunch of ex-Nazi German scientists like Werner von Braun it might have been a lot harder than it was.

Elvis never died - he just went home. Haven't you seen Men in Black?

Good point ... VERY good point. Though wasn't there a slight rumble in the ground in Graceland near where his grave was?
