      Yeah, it's a scary mix.

      It's like giving millions of apes, axes and swords and teaching them how to use it.

        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          America's main problem is its corroded and faintly ludicrous political culture. And the Democrats seem content to sit by and fluke a victory on the basis of Republican incompetance, rather than trying to change the political landscape.

                  do I have to read this thread?

                  no country can stay on top forever. And aren't the Brits still claiming they are a legit power?

                  We'll be just fine... for now.

                        I think the real problem is that America won a Culture Victory awhile ago but then decided to keep playing to see how things turned out.

                              Only "faintly ludicrous?" How understated. You must excuse Drake for thinking you were English.
