Thanks for saying that! I am just one sarcastic SOB. Now for some other truths to soothe the feelings of the rest of the world here.
Honestly, the EU is the single greatest amalgamation of disparate peoples ever accomplished in human history, non-violently. A major, major human achievement. Though it is always in a delicate state of political infighting it is a striking move forward for nations that have never really gotton along that well and I'm all for it. I don't know if they're really ready to argue with the US yet, but their day will come and they are certainly trying hard enough. Example: unfortunately the EU has committed hundreds of billions of dollars toward building a duplicate and independent GPS space system (another nifty idea we built and offered the world for free) because they are uncomfortable with our ability to shut ours off at will. How this money could be used better for its member people is sort of obvious. All in all though I really admire the accomplishment called the EU.
Love Asians too! Have a niche site all for them alone. China is scary and they're about to suck every resource left on the planet and the BOMB (but only about two hundred of them... whew!)
Who can't adore those non-violent Aussies with those cute, cute, dingo dogs, kangaroos, and Nicole Kidman. Plus its the only continent likely to survive unscathed in a nuclear exchange. Dual citizenship anyone?
For my hosehead buddies up north, they laugh at all of us and with good reason they invented HYDRO and get it really, really, cheap (real hydro not hydroponics... WHAT! $3500 for how much!!!
)!
And for the Netherlands.... WOW! Sex, drugs, rock and roll AND everyone is cool with that, PLUS great skiing.
I am extremely guilty that we as Americans live on top of 90% of the rest of the planet. This is horrid. But, americans are truly great hearted and loving people... really we are. Its just the leaders are corrupt, degenerates. If it makes us guilty by proxy... I can't argue that. But, most of us are happy with a six pack, fishing pole, and good company.
If a final thought is in order its that the best thing about the web is that it opens us to the rest of the world and its people in a way that is hard for the spin miesters to control. Now if they can just get off their lazy asses and exchange the clicker for a keyboard things might get better quicker.
Think peace! Think EARTH! Think now!
