TH..."this era of greed and manipulation"<br /><br />THIS era? <br /><br />The US was made by <br />-exploiting the native Americans, <br />-then by exploiting black African slaves, <br />-then by exploiting the vast free resource from the STOLEN North American continent, <br />-then by exploiting the destruction of other nations during WW 1 & 2,<br />-then by exploiting the abundant Arab oil with the petro-dollar standard,<br />-and even today by exploiting the Federal reserve printing press.<br /><br /><br />The US has in its essence exploitation & greed & murder & theft. Fact!<br /><br /><br />"may once more become an inspiration and example for humanity that <br />this world so desperately requires."<br /><br />This was the greatest manipulation of all - the US isn't an inspiration it is only<br />a flashy & fancy billboard masking a soulless thieving nation. What the world needs is <br />for the US to dissolve and for USians to get their deserved karmic punishment.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284893230469697578.post-55498322969067174342017-07-16T02:52:40.487+07:002017-07-16T02:52:40.487+07:00What's a 3rd world country SA emailer?

I don't know what that means but take a walk down the street in a "rich" suburb where the folk are doing the 'mental patient property value dance' and you'll see people dying for change, sometimes dying to drink, and then dying while the irritable in their cars drive by. Walking medical problems that need to be addressed. The white collars are getting fucked up too. I am guessing Linh's effort in part is to capture details of a 3rd world country of some kind, namely the USA. Are Americans capable of sympathy anymore or is that a thought crime? Empathize sounds like you'll kick the losers in the face if they have it comin' but you still "feel for 'em."<br /><br /><br />Maybe give people more credit? They don't buy it anymore if they say it in the news. The folk are much too cynical for any "City on a Hill" horseshit that never was. This might be progress after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284893230469697578.post-27341887448610212017-07-16T02:41:15.006+07:002017-07-16T02:41:15.006+07:00Linh,
