ElM, you racists have an attitude suitable for the stone age when alpha male territorial conquering dominance hierarchies were essential for survival. Those without a big tribe of intelligent and powerful warriors lost to those who did have one. Reproductive rites were conducted by the victors and especially the high-ranked males. You apparently haven't noticed it's different now. Genocidal tribal war is largely a thing of the past. There's no "taking over". There isn't s set amount of wealth to be spread around. Everyone can create some. Some people can create a lot. The more the merrier. Spain, Brazil, England, Mexico and USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, China, Indonesia and India can ALL do well and are more likely to do well if the others are also doing well. While there is only a certain amount of oil and fish and whatnot to go around, wealth stems more from what people do with the natural resources than the simple act of selling the stuff. To the extent that people think of wealth and capital as you do, they are not going to do so well. Wealth isn't for tribes to spread around. Shooting people in the back and stealing their stuff isn't the way to wealth. It was. But it isn't now [other than in a few nasty places such as the OPEC zone and some African countries]. Maoris didn't just steal the stuff, they ate the opposition which was a good food source. Mqurice

> Is only the Anglo Saxon world returning to its natural size. In fact just re-taking what rightfully belong to us the Latino tribe.> But doesn't the Anglo Saxon world alliance include US, UK, Ireland, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel, India, Iraq? That is pretty heavy in terms of population as well as natural resources. It may be too early to call an end here. Latinos are hard working and fun loving - like Brazil in soccer - but the Victorian ethic of postponing pleasure for future reward that MQ refers to - may be a big difference between the Anglo and the Latino world. Or may be it is just the Ponzi financial markets rigged by the Anglo world for centuries screwing those who are sucked into the system which is the rest of the world... The top European dogs through history. It was Portugese and Spain in the 1500s. It was the Dutch in the 1600s. Britain and France in the late 1600s and 1700s. Mainly British in the 1800s. Britain, US, Germany, Japan, Russia/USSR from late 1800s to 1945. US and allies, USSR from 1945 to 1990. US and allies (including trading partner China) from 1990 to 2010. US and allies (including India and Brazil?) from hereon? -Arun
