Ralphie,, You know your empire's crumbling when you can't topple those governments and replace them with nice puppet regimes - like in the good old days - even if you wanted to. And you badly want to. Yeah they forgot to get a puppet lined up... or with apologies to Joni Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old Saddam Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot You know your empire's crumbling when the so-called 'opposition' party can't even turn that obscenity into a viable campaign theme and use it to clobber the worst emperor in your history. So that is the alternate spelling for non binding resolution !!! You know your empire's crumbling when your government gives tax breaks to industries as a reward for exporting your jobs elsewhere. That one can be turned around though when many workers doing some of those jobs feel a bloated sense of entitlement for doing highly unskilled labour.. Globalisation ... the other side (whoever they are) can bitch all they like... but wealth flows like water.. Someone else will now get a turn.. That's Just the way it is... - Bruce Hornsby and the Range.. You know your empire's crumbling when you trade your prior moral leadership on human rights issues for global disgust at your torture, 'extraordinary rendition' (a.k.a. kidnaping for torture) and the dismantling of nine centuries worth of civil liberties progress. Yup... pardner... the Cowboys don't wear white hats no more.. You know your empire's crumbling when the folks who are gearing up their empire to replace yours start blowing up satellites in space. And then they don't bother to return your phone calls when you ring up to ask why. just more globalisation, why should they :O) At this rate we'll be lucky to end up like Belgium. Just the natural order of things... folks need to get over it.. Just hard I guess when it happens on your watch.. Have a good weekend.. Don't worry about your CLL :O) Al

I am so glad you see the signs of the end of so many things an end to innovation because socialists just don't innovate an end to educating the poor because most countries outside the US sphere don't. a rise in disease, because where do cures come from no profits, no new drugs No more of that tatty foreign aid, if foreigners can't feed their kids they should stop having them. When americans invade the country it is usually better off when they leave. America rebuilt Germany, France, Britain, holland, and helped Norway Denmark and Holland. Communists devastated every country that fell under their control. Yes we have a great deal to look forward to once the sun sets on the American empire. Might be a good time to buy stock on candle factories. Look at Russian controlled Germany before the wall came down, and you see the direction of the world. The biggest polluters India and China, their savings are all based on the dollar.
