We know that we use 25 per cent of the worlds energy, We also produce 25 per cent of the worlds GDP. We are out on a limb, as Kunstler says. So many economies rely upon us. The truth is that the human race is out on a limb. I believe in my heart that many people around the world love America. We have those folks who would contradict that, but they don't dissuade me. The problem is that we delivered a vision that we can't back up because of ecology. America was the land of promise, but promise is meeting a brick wall: nature.

Internationally, the Americans who opposed the war, work to better the world --and better yet, understand it, are admired. The rest are viewed with complete withering contempt. There is nothing quite so curious and appalling as a junk food addled, fat and stupid person, telling you how to run your country or your life.

Go to any airport in Europe and play "spot the American". They don't walk, they shuffle. Many of them are mouth breathers and many more are morbidly obese and nearly all of them are wearing jogging suits and sneakers, which in Europe, resemble pajamas. The most notable thing though, is the expression on their faces--a mixture of bovine complacency and mild confusion.

This is the international face the ignorant type of American presents to the world. When foreigners watch your abyssmal television shows, think of how the international community's respect level plummets.

So hear this, you ignoramuses want some respect? Close your mouth, lose some weight, quit shuffling, and don't wear pajamas in public.

What's with all the really weird fucked up poetry recently? Is there some poetry retreat I'm missing out on?

[rwwff]

We're birthing a new era in literature. The natural follow on to the culture that finds a cross in a cup of pee to be artistic.

Appropriate for the time that marks the home stretch in turning the Earth into a burned out cinder.

Threadbear,

As usual your hatred clouds your vision. While some of what you say is true, there are plenty of us left who are in great shape, we walk upright, and possess plenty of smarts. We know whats going on around the world and grasp the sickness of the politics in our country. We don't wear pajamas and we can kick the ass of most of the folks we run into.

I find your characterizations to be rather childish at best.

The USA is still the only place I'd like to be when the SHTF and I've been around. The bottom line is that even though we are f--ked more so than a lot of places, where we end up will be better than most. It's the level at which you start that determines how far you sink.

It's good to see your passion, but a lot of times I think it blinds you. For someone obviuosly as smart as you, I find it anomalous that you harbor such deep hatred. It doesn't become you.

There's never been anything like the global enmity we're seeing now after six years of Neocon rule. Imagine what it will be like if we somehow replace BushCo with a bunch that's even further out than they are...
