<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cesariojpn, post: 677505, member: 11408&quot;]It&#039;s because we as as nation never strive to be innovative. Look at some sectors of the Economy: </p><p><br /></p><p>Auto Makers being run-over by much cheaper and fuel-efficent imports. Even a &quot;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window" rel="nofollow">Parable_of_the_broken_window</a>&quot; idea benefited Japanese car makers more than the Big 3. Not to mention the &quot;Retro-Look&quot; adopted by the Big 3 in their pony cars. I could swear this is the 21st century, not 1967!! </p><p><br /></p><p>Hollywood actually <b>STEALING</b> ideas from foreign markets and re-adapating them for USA consumption in order to make a buck. And I can&#039;t say for the Adaptation from domestic media like Books and Television; Did we really need to go back to the 50&#039;s in order to get a movie idea? Really?</p><p><br /></p><p>Even the Mint is taking the approach. Excluding Platinum, both Gold and Silver Eagles took two of the most recognized designs and &quot;re-adapted&quot; them for current use. I heard the art of engraving and sculpting is being lost, but was it that drastic and depressing? Why couldn&#039;t we get a new design for Bullion coins that evoked uniqueness?</p><p><br /></p><p>Face it, we failed as a country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
