Yeah, and if our 'merican peso keeps on with it's devaluation, we're
going to wind up being as obscure as the other two.  Sure is making it
cheaper for the rest of the world to fly or wire in and clean up at
this big garage sale that we are becoming. Before long our warmaking
ability will amount to our being like a bunch of digital monkeys in
trees chunking digital turds at those who disagree with us. Lotta that
going on already, eh? ;-)

BTW, I agree about metric.

GOOD. <g>

my feeling on what you are saying is simply that all empires end, but the
emperor never likes it when it does, but that everyone else does because it
benefits them to be free of it. onwards & upwards, what.

there's a lot to be said for obscurity, anyway. if the u.s. ever gets over
itself, you won't catch ME crying!

There are many here in the belly of the beast who shan't be cryin'
either when said empire can no longer inflict itself upon the world at
large.  The fear is though, that the beast will turn upon itself and
those of us here will suffer the same privation and predation that so
many in "third world" countries and indigenous peoples have suffered at
the hands of this insanely rapacious empire.  This is beginning to
happen already.
