America in 2000 Years

To borrow a quote from the ministers' blog of First Presbyterian Church (Jackson, MS):
"I think there are only three things that America will be known for 2,000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution, jazz music and baseball. They're the three most beautifully designed things this culture has ever produced.” Gerald Early
It's a thought-provoking quote, as to what America will be known for. And I'm inclined to agree with the three items chosen.

In a similar, yet more serious, vein, Peggy Noonan paints a bleak picture of America's future in her column this week. Bleak, that is, if we do not instill a sense of pride and appreciation in its youth and its immigrants. It's a great article.
