How can you tell the U.S. is a falling World Power? Forget about the war, the huge budget deficit, the leader that can't really speak, or the huge household debt. Let's look at something real simple:

This is an event called "Pillow Fight Day" where as the productive citizens and residents of the city came out to a place and smash each others with pillow. Above video is the video of NYC Pillow Fight Day in 2007- notice the amount of people showed up and feathers on the ground.

The similar event is hosted in Shanghai, China.

You can clearly see much less people participated in Shanghai (also a very crowded city). Also there are much less feathers on the ground- nearly none.

So this is what our country has became. Smashing each others with pillow in the middle of the day, leaving massive amount of feathers for people to pick up and go to waste. Good job, NYC!

I wish I can understand how "fun" it is, but I just don't. Save your pillow, donate it to someone that need them. All jokes aside - Pillow Fighting day is stupid.
