Hello Snowshoe, After a 4 hour ride to Tokyo, a four hour layover, and another five and half hours ride in a 747 transporting around 90 passengers, I am now at Kailua, staring at several miles/kilometers of sand, under the beautiful conditions that Hawaii can be, under the hegemon's protection. I just had a big breakfast of Hawaiian smoked sausages, two eggs over easy, hash browns, and am sated with Starbuck’s Ice Coffee.
Is the world fair now? No. Was it ever fair? Again no. Can it be fair? Yes, but only if all countries and peoples work diligently. Is this idealistic? Yes.
I agree world order is called for, and given the technological advances making disorder genuinely alarming, a new order will be necessary. However, the existing order will have to be for a while. I think if the US quits now, or hints at wanting to quit, all should then quickly seek shelter given the then resultant power vacuum. In order for the US to take it easy, it needs to build up other ‘enforcers’ able to keep local/regional peace, all serving the goal of globalization and order, else, chaos and maximum disorder that will not serve anyone’s genuine interest.
I do not know what the new order has to be, in order to be practical and executable.
Meanwhile, I intend to visit CompuUSA for the latest games, and rap with my friends about stocks, bonds, real estate, and what we are all concerned about ... keeping what we have worked for under the current order.
Chugs, Jay |
