THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Whoever heard of a hundred thousand animals rushing together to butcher each other, as men do everywhere [during war]?"-- Desiderius Erasmus, Dutch humanist, 1466-1536

 

Red, White and Blue Storm Rising

It is said that art often must imitate life. In the case of Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising", the motives and actions of the fictionalized USSR line up rather nicely with those of the real life USA. And therein lies a warning for those who think fake terror is the ideal tool with which to rule. For in Clancy's book, following a costly and bloody war, the fictionalized USSR is no better off than when it started, still without oil, still without money, and with a military coup on top of it all.

Life imitates art?

I hope not.

Russia is better off than the US in one very critical area. Russia does not have the insanely huge national debt the US has. And, make no mistake about it, that debt belongs to WE THE PEOPLE. It will come out of your backside come hell or high water. There is no avoiding it unless you are wealthy and well connected.
