Quote of the Day

From Paul Collier:

Americans are in for an analogous shock as other economies become dominant, and as other societies offer higher living standards: if you want to see the future visit Singapore, not New York.

I'm scared. They work almost twice as many hours a day, struggle to innovate, have a king and weak civil liberties, their arts are stagnate (ever hear about Singaporean books, movies, or music?), and, worst of all, they never get laid. Basically, they aren't happy.
