A fuller quote from Gil Scott-Heron: http://books.google.com/books?id=DmClZ_CzQDgC&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=%22america+leads+the+world+in+shock%22&source=bl&ots=VE7VskAjbU&sig=HHKBPz9JuE3vWxgkRcOGvVGu1Uw&hl=en&ei=dIttTKKlHcG78ga2tYDmCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22america%20leads%20the%20world%20in%20shock%22&f=false
"America was shocked! America leads the world in shock. Unfortunately, America doesn't lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock."
