so while everybody else is oohing and aahing

.

i'm thinking about the breathtaking, spectacularly choreographed war these fuckers are gonna throw for us one of these days.

They will simply sell off the $1 trillion in cash reserves in dollars they have all in a single day causing chaos in world exchange markets and a U.S. economic crisis. But, then, the Saudis and other 'friendly' oil producing nations might just come to our rescue. I'm not sure who I would prefer 'cause they are both not on my short list of favorite nations.; August 10, 2008 at 10:36 AM

what i kept coming back to while i watched that awesome spectacle was: here in america we agonize over 3,000 casualties over the course of a five-year war, while these bastards could dress a million such obedient automatons in finery such as we saw that night, march 'em off amid similar pomp and circumstance to wreak havoc and die--and not bat an eye.

this post was just meant to serve as an example of where my mind goes even when i'm supposed to be enjoying myself--which, btw, is one of the reasons i drink.; August 10, 2008 at 2:11 PM

As in the state of the world with China, North Korea, Middle East, and the affairs of our own passive/aggresive police state - I too keep a sharp eye on these things. Damn, I wish I never read that book. I wish I was 'Parsons' - just accepting everything because that's the way things are.; August 11, 2008 at 11:57 AM
mkf said...: blindman: this is true--there's always the bomb. but i don't see any of the "civilized" nations who possess such a weapon to bypass conventional warfare just yet.

luis: i don't believe you--i bet you'd take awareness and its concomitant misery over blissful stupidity every time.; August 13, 2008 at 4:38 PM
