It contains a record of the political history of the past 40 years, which pretty much covers the ongoing collapse of our Republic.

Their continuing wealth, and thus their continuing power, depends on their being able to plunder the poor countries of the world of their labor and material resources at cut-rate prices, with impunity.<br /><br />That impunity depends on their tame pet US Govt. being able to maintain its huge, and hugely expensive, military, covert-action, and intelligence apparatuses {apparati?), as the final resort for the plutocrats when their local proxies are too weak or incompetent to suppress the exploited masses.<br /><br />Maintaining that huge "security" apparatus, in turn, depends on the continuing health of the US economy--the same US economy which is slowly being gutted by the very policies the plutocrats favor--which means the day will come when they can't maintain that security apparatus any more.<br /><br />No other country can substitute for the USA in maintaining the plutocratic world order, but the plutocrats are slowly destroying the USA.<br /><br />Babylon's own lords are chanting down Babylon, and they're not smart enough to know it.<br /><br />Selah.Monster from the Idnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-86242107014935628132014-01-06T18:57:06.147-06:002014-01-06T18:57:06.147-06:00Oh, just put on your big boy pants and deal with i...Oh, just put on your big boy pants and deal with it. Lots of people have disappointments, lots of people have to get by on something other than their native talent, which by all accounts (yours, for sure) is so freakin' huge, you should be able to set up a library on Trantor.<br /><br />Enough with the "nobody appreciates me and my enormous talent" nonsense.

This affords me the luxury of placing my resources where they can do the most good. <br /><br />It is tiresome, then, having to fend off sabotage from the Purity Trolls and the "not a dime's worth of difference" crowd.
