For all the free thinkers still left on this planet they'd best pray to whatever diety they choose that the US doesn't topple.

If we were to fall today, do you truly think the world would be better for it mr "I haven't enough guts to put a name to my comments" OP ?

Who then would mobilize their miltary to rush aid from their citizenry to the next tsunami striken area and then help in setting up early warning technologies to help those same people who'll likely never be citizens here?

Who then will be willing to put their own sons and daughters in harms war in places like Croatia when overpowering forces seek extermination of a people in genocidal proportions when the rest of the world just turns their back on such inhumanity ?

Who then will try in seeming vain to help people all over the globe at such great costs to their own people and resources ? The French ? The Germans, Chinese, Koreans, Indians ? Who then you dumbass? Who on the whole fuckin planet will shoulder such tasks ???

Secondly, anyone wanting to draw comparisons between a communist run state once known as the USSR and the USA realistically is only showing their own lack of depth in understanding either regime, government or peoples.

If you happen to know any emigrated Russians, ask them about how the USA compares to the country they left socially, economically or maybe just ask 'em straight up where they'd rather be. Though they will tell you they love their country and always will, here in the USA is where they wanna be !
