The Egyptians are openly scrutinizing Obama's work. They are calling him mentally retarded, praying to their got that he dies, etc. I don't hope he dies, but I do agree with a lot of what they're saying.
Dude, welcome to 1990, and 1960 and 1980 and etc
"We bring truth and freedom, to... Grenada! Here we go!"
"Truth and freedom to - Panama, go go go!"
Ask what Chileans think of American truth and freedom
Obama-schmobama I say, but with a republican we'd be looking at full scale invasions of Somalia and or Sudan and or Iran and or some other ridiculous disaster.
What needs cleaning up is the base plan for all this, the dudes getting all the money. I stand on my opinion that you cannot eliminate the idea of a government - they
can be benevolent, at least approximately so, you can see for yourself, the Egyptian military,
military, seems at least to be trying to go into a right direction.
There are degrees of honesty in the running of a country
I personally don't see much hope, because humans aren't "written" or "set in stone", we are past several points of no return, we are based on so many weird accidents - consider that cities first came to exist, not because we wanted grain for bread, but because we yearned for year long entoxication by grain based alcohol (as opposed to being intoxicated only in fall time, intoxication here being immensely religious)
we're fucked up.
we're like mold with random weirdness sprayed on it.
Humans, biologically, are best ruled in small groups of 100-1000, with "elders" as "tribe leaders". Even there, there will be conflict, but that is biologically optimal for us.
The vast majority of world societies are impossibly far beyond any such optimal existence. People in ties. I've never met them. We're lucky we have anything to eat at all.
And, yes, we, most of us, the majority of this forum would just die if left to their own devices, me included, and probably you too
Unless you resorted to cannibalism or something
