During this process, the thing Islam fears the most happens. Their women get freedom. This is what they are really fighting against. But they can't win, long term. We can assist the process to some degree, but the Muslim women will do it for themselves. I believe this completely, and with passion. When that Genie appears, there will be no getting her back in the bottle. I enjoy an abstract humor from the hypocrisy of western feminists.

Lindy, more precisely than capitalism is the idea of libertarianism. Capitalism can include quite totalitarian government with repressive laws against individuals.

China is an example of capitalism with totalitarian characteristics [which they call Chinese characteristics which is an insult to the word "Chinese" and the people who are Chinese].

It's a shame the USA is neither as free nor as capitalist as it was. Same for NZ.

I think it's a stretch to say I'm getting Americanized. I do hire Americans to work for me, but that's not quite the same thing. <You may believe that we are asking you to lay down, spread your legs, and enjoy getting Americanized. [In your case, that's true. And you are.] >

I'm defining the future, not copying the reality-based PNAC people who are increasingly bewildered by the resistance to Dick Cheney and co. What people need to do is identify how the four forces of the apocalypse work and go with the flow. Those who oppose the teleological laws of nature will be given the Darwinian treatment.

Karma lies in wait for those who build up forces in the wrong way - nature reflects back on them with the same force and more to put them in their place and reassert the laws of nature.

Financial relativity theory is one aspect of those laws of nature and a LOT of market clearing is to be done in the next few years. Don't miss it! I don't think you will.
