Just this weird mix of personal nostalgia, and the sadness of realizing that basically ALL these jobs are long gone, and never coming back...

3. What can we do better today than anyone else in the global economy?
I do not discount your sense of nostalgia; as an American, I have it myself from time to time. But I do believe our energy is better spent pursuing what we can do today better than anyone else on earth. Unfortunately, we as Americans don't seem to know what that is. :shrug:
