It’s not just about us. It’s about all the peoples in the world we are hurting and whose lives we are ruling. We have set the example of our militaristic fantasy and all the world is copying us. As sso as we went into Afghanistan I knew Israel would use it as an excuse to start the war they wanted to start. Just as when Bill Clinton took out the speed limit of 55 MPH that Carter had initiated, I knew the EFFECT would be an increase in oil prices, so I watched and that was what happened. Clinton sent a “floating sign” that the govt didn’t care any more about conservation of oil. Since he was a “DEM” and a “progressive” they weren’t sure so he told them. As McLuhan says, “think first about the EFFECTS then think backwards to formal and efficient causes. Americans are very stupid people. I find the only really intelligent thinking people online are Eastern Europeans. As a group. Making a generalization.
