Np. I just figured others might take your words with a little less salt if I gave you the chance to correct those two pretty big back-to-back goofs. You know how some like to base their arguments on the technical details. As you are probably aware, they don't need much of an excuse to start handing out dumb-ass labels.
Still not sure how you ever came to the conclusion that India has more resources than the U.S., but maybe you know about some gold vein deposits or something I don't...
But that is an interesting thought, too, about swapping out the populations of the US and India, although I'd disagree wholeheartedly with the results.
The reason we have so much power, is due to our abundance of (albeit shrinking)resources- without them we are just like India- at the economic mercy of their suppliers.
Big gov just hasn't even come close to putting enough regulation on our industries. You take one step on to Indian soil, see what an unregulated society does to it's land mass, then come back and say those same things. But I don't believe you will.
No sir, the Indians are just sitting ducks floating in a decimated ocean of waste, although still enjoying some wealth in their timber lands. Americans are resourceful, and would hack out a living I'm sure, but the glory days of power would be far behind us.
