I think it's time we in the UK seriously considered recolonising our
pea-brained friends over the water. It's become clear that they cannot manage
their own elections without the whole thing descending into chaos, corporate
criminality is rampant, their president is probably the stupidest man alive
(which is saying something considering the competition over there). This latest
debacle shows the US cannot even manage to sort out a simple evacuation plan
when given a weeks notice of an oncoming hurricane.
We really have to save these dumb-fucks from themselves...

oh right... almost forgot... my eternal thanks... my comment was more to the
current world, not the past when you were the Supreme Colonizer (way before you
started giving them all back)... but, hey, I sure do love English Pale Ale...
kudos on that one...

If it was not for the U. S. The Brits would be speaking German.

You have no idea how much it pisses me off that I'm forced to agree with every
single comment.
I'm ashamed of what the collapse of our education system has done to the
electorate in this nation.
(Of course it was intentional, along and in tandem with the bureaucratic
millstone of "Your Child Bereft of Mind".)
The only Press I get that isn't afraid of Karl Rove and the richest 4% (who own
ours, btw, giving the lie to the biggest of them all, a liberal bias)of the
population is the Beeb.
Dry, but accurate and to the point andl still occasionally capable of calling a
political turd the shitpile that it is.
I keep holding out hope, but it looks bad I admit............

Upon retrospect however, I'm forced to also add that the one truth that would
have saved the United States in this latest Right Wing Military Masturbation
fest is the one that the initial poster would seem to be forgetting:
Any country (Iraq, US, England, whatever) will take it's own shitty self
government over some foreign interloping fuck's "new and improved"
version 10 times out of 10.
It is therein, that the egomaniacal, self destructive merriment and mayhem
ensues.
Don't make the same mistake, O descurvied fellators of Limes, who make a damn
good if irritating point.

How much do you think that Bush and his handlers are making out of you idiots
then? At least over here in the UK anyone can conceivably run for prime
minister. In the US you get the choice between two rich kids from the
"right" families. You don't have democracy, you don't even have real
choice. You're worse off than the bloody Iraquis you were trying to
"Liberate"/steal oil from.

Would be great to have a multi-party system and free elections at least. Our
one-party system really sucks. The Republicates don't represent me!

Yes, yes, remind the Europeans how we "saved" them in WW2. Never let
them forget how we entered the war at the end on the winning side and declared
ourselves the saviors of the world. Everyone besides us sees the threadbare
cloth we're cut from.

THIS IS HILARIOUS.....We (the United States) are composed of all nationalities.
Do you suppose the Europeans donated some of that threadbare cloth? >

where's the f'ing porn already? No one here ever argued over that.
BinLaden, you can't take something like this and blame it all on Bush and you
can't say this is representative of of how an entire country is run.
That would be like someone calling you a boot licker, simply because Tony Blair
is one.

So, if we really think the empire is disintergrating, and people like Paul
Volker think we'll hit a dollar-crisis (aka A Global currency crisis)
"within five years"
(http://atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/GI01Dj02.html)
Then we should start talking and thinking seriously about what to do. The only
truism will be: people will not make it by themselves.
The one important thing anthropology tells us is that giving gifts is the
essential cultural "glue". Giving a gift w/o expectation of reward
(ego or otherwise), is what binds people together.
The current economic structure does not seriously enable that giving of gifts;
and I mean 'gifts' that support or enhance life and living, eg. food, resources,
need fulfillment.
A global economic catastrophe is a huge opportunity to encourage more positive
human traits, and build them into society. Gift-giving, or "gift
economy" - and by extension, relying on each other - is essential to a
continuity of life.
The current economic structure encourages greed, and war. How can we avoid that
in the future?
