This is the Age of Arrogance



[To paraphrase]

Amanpour: "It seems like things are getting worse"
Gates: "I know, if you read the news, things ARE getting worse, but poor countries now make $.25 per day more than they did a few decades ago, so that proves things are getting better..."

The Arrogance is flowing like a river. We are immersed in it. It defines every policy.

"We're different. We're better. They can eat our left-overs for the next forever." 

The fatal assumption.
