註釋Imagine a visitor from another planet arriving to earth, let's say to New Jersey, doing a study. They learn within the first few days that there are at least 14,190 nuclear weapons in the world; 1⁄2 of the world's population lives on less than U$S2.50 per day; climate heating is so severe that Artic ice is melting and seas are rising, yet the U.S. president and most of his party leadership denies climate science; the U.S. health care system spends U$S3,000 per person(over U$S8,000 per capita) more than the next most expensive developed nations, yet 40-45 million do not have health insurance and 20,000 die a year due to lack of care; 1% of the world's population controls half of the wealth; 1⁄2 the world's wealth is owned by 8 men-patterns that are especially true of the U.S.; the U.S. has 800 military bases in the world and special forces troops in about 70 countries, yet there is no attack on the continental U.S. The visiting party concludes that with just their first few days study, this is an insane world.
