I dont wish to pursue that course of discussion here anymore
while I love patriotism, sometimes it is in real bad form
when systemic problems must be addressed
which have little to do with foreign attacks

I find most flagwaving to be moronic
usually by empty-headed types who have little understanding of the dynamics behind conflict

we have so so much to do at home
our entire economic debt-based system is undermined
not by foreigners, but by ourselves
immediate gratification
foreigner support financially
socialist irresponsible spending
the end of the road spells BANKRUPTCY
it has nothing to do with foreigners
and everything to do with domestic mindset geared toward entitlement of the good life, the now now now
not working toward a goal, but rather taking and seizing the goal in the first step with debt paying for it

we have set up policy to circumvent all recessions, all system threats of failure by printing money without view of consequences
WE HAVE SEEMED TO ATTEMPT A REPEAL OF ECONOMIC LAWS
we invite very serious economic revenge !!!

we have a cultural illness that is life-threatening
we are indebted
we are fat as hell
we are arrogant and pushy
we dont read and learn much
we play video games instead of expanding our minds
we foist our system upon others, despite its huge faults

I will debate anyone on this score
I am just sick of vacant thinking that underscores some kind of magical phenomenon dictating that America will continue to be a leader in all things financial, social, political, military, blablabla

are we better than Rome?
we have gradually seen a degradation in morality, in responsbility, in education, in individual learning

our debt-based system was transported to Latin America
now an economic and banking implosion
we were willing to transport our mfg base to Asia
now we have a death defying trade gap
not to mention Asian Banking vulnerability to having replaced hard assets by debt assets in their reserves, almost at the point of our gun to their heads

no, the US Hegemony Era is coming to an end
the WTC attack represented an apocrophyl event
nothing is viewed the same
not our security

AND NOT OUR AMERICAN SYSTEM SUPPOSED SUPERIORITY
this system has spawned debt, fat, scandal, bankruptcy, obesity, little foreign language proficiency, little math proficiency, colossal accounting illiteracy, and blind trust in charlatan criminal political and economic policy makers

the next vote of confidence comes in the FOREX with USDollar
its fundamentals have put our nation at the greatest risk in our entire 230-year history
(a history which most citizens dont even read about)
