I doubt that you can really craft a good documentary in a very short time slot (e.g. 10mins). Documentaries need to be elaborated well and by cutting their length will lead to lessening of the quality of their content.

This post was really tedious to follow as the author made and impression he was just about to fall asleep. Anyway, it is an interesting topic, a rare showcase of American self-criticism. It is pretty much over for the U.S. IQ speaking as it seems. Who would have said that a few decades ago... Ah well, once you start to lower your standards and raise your demands it's a road to... dumbness and misery.

I think it is the unlimited confidence in their power what ultimately screwed the US up. Those in power were too sure of themeselves. I think it is healthy to have doubts about one's own abilities, or better saying be self-critical. That is what Americans have fotgotten and now they'll have to learn. I think it's going to be a painful...but well, their dream is now over so it's time to wake up and start anew.

I think Western Europe has been overzealously following the trends which the US set. Now, the recession is a real wake up call. There is an urgent need to have much more critical approach towards the Ameerican ideas . As it seems some of them are nothing but a lot of hot air.
