Recollection of American history with thoughts

In 1814 Francis Scott Key writes the"Star Spangled Banner" following the bombardment of Fort McHenry. I brought the kids to visit during the 1960s. We honor the Anglo-Saxon heritage now and the British is coming for coordination to fight Terrorism. China is helping Afghanistan as well with the same goal of USA and UK in the 21st century.

I am named Francis but I wish to modify the last lines for "Land of the Free(Enterprise added) and Home of the Brave(bureaucracy added) Perhaps such thought would be apt to describe the current issue of Health Care Bill, the talk of the nation. I heard the speech by MIT economist Jonathan this morning with interesting and lively discussions.

The perception and reception would depend on individual situations. Nobody can give a clear cut answer with variable assumptions in economics. We need to see the empirical evidence in the years to come. Human behavior is the point and Adam Smith is a professor of moral philosophy and an economist. Confucianism may be studied for ethics and morality for Sino-American Economics.
