Posts: 1657Haha. I just read the Sri Lanka bit. Just hedge accordingly and enjoy the ride. The world is fucked 6 ways from Sunday. We are living in the midst of wwIII and the great decoupling. Either we all die ( those who advocate we stand up to Russia ) or there is a slow great paradigm shift. No two ways about it. I personally enjoy watching those with cognitive dissonance and paradigm paralysis. Its quite entertaining from an academic standpoint to say the least.

If it were not for China's emergence as an economic power & leader during this time, what you describe of Sri Lanka is close to universal in lesser developed countries. And don't laugh, but Brazil might even fall into that category. And here, they are staging the Olympic Games next year! Correct me if I'm mistaken.
But for sure, I will be visiting Sri Lanka very soon.

Posts: 1657Did anyone notice how the US just bent over for Eurasia over the AIIB?
Even the krauts told the US to buzz off. Now the US wants to cooperate. Lol. That's what these fools get for playing checkers with people who are masters at the long game. It seems everybody knows which way the wind is blowing. Except the rhetorical tards.

Reverend, Two people on separate occasions in the island nation where you were transiting the other day told me something like "Forty years ago, we were a wealthier country than Hong Kong/Singapore. Now look what happened." What happened was that Sri Lanka pursued economic policies like Europe. Industries were nationalized and taxes went up to among the highest in the developing world. And corruption remained a fixture in government. They blew it.

Posts: 2700I like what you say, but..
It is not the way you say it is.
It is Government by Big Business, for Big Business.
Buy a politician today.

I think part of the problem is you just don't understand our system, you (and others) don't seem to understand that we live in a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy, not even a Representative Democracy, but a Republic.
Maybe this will help;.
The chief characteristic and distinguishing feature of a Democracy is: Rule by Omnipotent Majority. In a Democracy, The Individual, and any group of Individuals composing any Minority, have no protection against the unlimited power of The Majority. It is a case of Majority-over-Man.
A Republic, on the other hand, has a very different purpose and an entirely different form, or system, of government. Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individuals God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general. The definition of a Republic is: a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution--by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment--with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Here the term "the people" means, of course, the electorate.
The link has a more in depth explanation that everyone should read and try to understand.

BTW this "greater good" crapola that you preach is just an argument used by one group to gain control over another.
I'm Proud to be and American, how about you?

Posts: 2700Canals
You are right there are canals all over California. The problem is the they getting very dry. Our mountains did not get much snow in the last four years. Our winter season is over for this year.
I am talking about pipelines from States that have lots of rain. Washington gets lots of rain, Oregon gets more than us.
I am just suggesting a water line for emergencies like now.
It would be nice if we could get a lot of the snow from the East coast.

Posts: 94The title of this thread should be changed to "Jackson and His Lackey Fascist Fan-Boy's Obama Hate Group". An alternative thread title could be "Jackson and Fellow Sufferers of Obama Derangement Syndrome Support Group".
