s2- So, it's hard for me to say this, but the American way of life is simply not sustainable. Because it doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America. Fortunately, power has a shelf life. When the time comes, maybe this mighty empire will, like others before it, overreach itself and implode from within. It looks as though structural cracks have already appeared. As the war against terror casts its net wider and wider, America's corporate heart is haemorrhaging. A world run by a handful of greedy bankers and CEOs whom nobody elected can't possibly last. Soviet-style communism failed, not because it was intrinsically evil but because it was flawed. It allowed too few people to usurp too much power: 21st-century market-capitalism, American-style, will fail for the same reasons. that's some heavy food for thought. i've been pro capitalism for quite a while. i like the idea of entrepreneurial freedom... shouldering risk has to include the possibility of reward. it's a growth stimulator. benevolence is NOT a strong enough motive. what is the perfect alternative? yes. i'm talking to YOU! what is the perfect alternative? -questioner
