Our wealth is because we were able to exploit vigin land.  But now others
are catching up.  Remember the Romans probably felt the same way, and where
are they now???  Also if we are going to even attempt to solve the problem
of global warming we need an educated population.  Notice that at one time
science was supported by both sides of aisle, but now one side is now
supporting theistic interpretations of science.  That does not bode well for
the future unless it changes.
