    The Way It Is

    Here is a neat little video that cuts through the superfluous whys and wherefores to explain
    something that's of crucial importance to us all.

    There will be no collapse in the globalization of democracy. You people are similar to the goons at the FDA who want to monopolize arguments against alternative medicine. There are lots and lots of people who have been able to reverse heart conditions (e.g. Dan Pilgrim) or cure cancer (e.g. Burzynski in Texas, with a success 9 times greater than the goons at the FDA), who have been harassed and whose patents have been stolen based on your mongering.
    A good look at the value of American human resources reveals that to all this BS, the debt is nothing compared to that adaptable and valuable resource. So much for the UK. The education of most Americans make them capable of being trained succesfully in thousands of different jobs. This will make your arces go up in flames should you decide to seriously consider a stupid, physical attack on the foundation of democracy. Have fun with your BS. But sorry, just prick in vain.

    I thought the jar reflected its shape on the grass. I mislooked the hole for the shade.
    The other thing is the pile of rubble looks like sand.
    Almost beachy look.

    As is often the case, your post is somewhat unintelligible but, from what I can gather, your position on the video appears to be something like this.

    From a standoffish point of view humour in this instance becomes his when it is to man with the man himself. Laughing at oneself for being that self is reputable humour. It is shabby recreational eat your heart out. Now where that ostrich gone. I think we have a replacement here.

    The OP reminds of a song ''It's the Way It Is'' by Hornsby I think.

    Well back on topic (if it has ever been on topic) I think that when you look at what is happening to places like Cyprus now, and before it Greece, I can't understand how anyone from any country can be so confident of the future, financially speaking. I think like the scientists financial experts haven't got much of a clue either.

    Well there are parallels with the past that are impossible to ignore. In fact the historical links are fascinating and the economic unravelling of the Euro zone can be traced back to Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire. A major factor in the pending chaos is that new technology is running ahead of the national aspirations and when the future collides with the past something has to give.

    Empires- they rise and fall like hemlines. Why should ours be any different? Does it really matter?


    There is a Conference going on in Africa at the moment of up and coming Countries discussing alternatives to the IMF based first world economic system. Our great and mighty Western Civilisation is about to be side-stepped by the main thrust of history.
