Its imposable to see how the world would have turned out if the USA was never formed, who's to say the USSR would have even come about or that the Chinese wouldn’t still be happy in their insular world? Without the USA spreading capitalism so virulently there may not have been such a race to be top dog, it could have been worse, it could have been a lot better, we will never know but I would love to have a peek at the alternative.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
