You posited the position that US hegemony has resulted in a veritable golden age worldwide. The example you offered was on life expectancy.<br /><br />I could argue your position on a number of fronts but life expectancy offers a a good bogey since it is impacted by so many factors. My position is that correlation between US hegemony and the rise in worldwide life expectancy does not imply causation.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy" rel="nofollow">Life Expectancy by Country</a><br /><br />The UN data provided in the link shows the US listed as 36 in life expectancy among UN member states. Not too bad, but if one is to accept your premise, you have to ask why is the US not in the top tier of countries wrt life expectancy?<br /><br />A more interesting question is what are the reletive trends in life expectancy. The UN numbers merely show a point in time. The following interactive graph shows the trends in life expectancy. There is an awful lot contained in the graph but by playing with it you can get all the detail you need.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gapminder.org/world/#$majorMode=chart$is;shi=t;ly=2003;lb=f;il=t;fs=11;al=30;stl=t;st=t;nsl=t;se=t$wst;tts=C$ts;sp=6;ti=2010$zpv;v=0$inc_x;mmid=XCOORDS;iid=phAwcNAVuyj2tPLxKvvnNPA;by=ind$inc_y;mmid=YCOORDS;iid=phAwcNAVuyj2tPLxKvvnNPA;by=ind$inc_s;uniValue=8.21;iid=phAwcNAVuyj0XOoBL%5Fn5tAQ;by=ind$inc_c;uniValue=255;gid=CATID0;by=grp$map_x;scale=lin;dataMin=12;dataMax=83$map_y;scale=lin;dataMin=23;dataMax=86$map_s;sma=49;smi=2.65$cd;bd=0$inds=" rel="nofollow">Worldwide Trends</a><br /><br />What is troubling is that the US has been regressing on life expectancy relative to other countries. In 1914, there were three countries with longer life expectancy than the US, now there are 35.<br /><br />Also please note the rapid rise in life expectancy around the world. The rest of the world is rapidly catching up with the US. [Africa is an obvious exception because of its own unique problems, the Four Horsemen if you will.] Look at the progress of China and India.<br /><br />Now I assume you would argue that if it wasn't for the benevolance of the US these countries wouldn't be making the progress that they are. Did the US help? Sure. But then so did many others. Is US hegemony solely responsible? As I said, nonsense.<br /><br />Otherwise, how do you explain a country like Cuba? According to the UN, they are tied with the US in 36th place. What the heck have we done for Cuba over the past 50 years?<br /><br />.<br /><br /><Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24738761532073381632011-11-28T21:53:43.570-05:002011-11-28T21:53:43.570-05:00America's energy future - a Battle between ent...<a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2011/11/28/americas-energy-future-a-battle-between-entrenched-utilities-and-clean-local-power/" rel="nofollow">America's energy future - a Battle between entrenched utilities and Clean Local Energy.</a>Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-78194032816923803572011-11-28T21:40:46.295-05:002011-11-28T21:40:46.295-05:00Or maybe I should say, "Share bupkis."Or maybe I should say, "Share bupkis."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-11583170587762079412011-11-28T21:36:45.894-05:002011-11-28T21:36:45.894-05:00Don't share bupkess.Don't share bupkess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24000280957054921692011-11-28T21:27:25.562-05:002011-11-28T21:27:25.562-05:00; ) I’m sure you’re adorable.; ) I’m sure you’re adorable.jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-20208595995664273642011-11-28T21:26:17.628-05:002011-11-28T21:26:17.628-05:00Would that make banker’s one armed bandits?Would that make banker’s one armed bandits?jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-31738848370695982002011-11-28T21:24:59.357-05:002011-11-28T21:24:59.357-05:00I could be mindless enough.I could be mindless enough.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52135540151338104532011-11-28T21:24:34.844-05:002011-11-28T21:24:34.844-05:00The Vatican's official newspaper, L'Osserv...The Vatican's official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, recently published an article titled"Islamic finance proposals and ideas for the West in crisis"<br /><br />The Vatican has put forward the idea that "the principles of Islamic finance may represent apossible cure for ailing markets"<br /><br />Islamic finance: get caught with your hand in the till, lose the hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-9067052222432792352011-11-28T21:19:18.603-05:002011-11-28T21:19:18.603-05:00If you like mindless, try the crapper.
