Forum rant on Bush, Kyoto and American isolation, April 2001
"Money got Bush Jr elected and he's hopeless and more than likely to get us all killed vs the Chinese."
George dubya, like 99% of the citizens of the good ol' USA don't know and don't give a shit about the rest of the world. Why? 'Cause they still don't realise that the rest of the world exists. American educayshun revolves around memorising their limited history, and teaching the best of the best to fire their ignorant arses into space "for the good of mankind".
George dubya's recent statement against the Kyoto agreement was the first time in history that a politician actually had the balls to declare his stupidity and ignorance of world opinion in one sentence. However, it may be some time before these statements bite into his administration. Nevertheless, it is a foregone conclusion that his is a limited administration as a result of this display of utter stupidity and arrogance.
The fact that the USA is the single most powerful country in the world does not mean that the USA can survive alone in this same world. It should never lead the USA to believe that it can stand alone against the rest of the world.
This is really an unfortunate but clear indication of America's ignorance, lack of understanding, inability to adapt and blind acceptance of the capitalist (grab as much as you can before the world dies) attitude.
The saddest thing about American attitudes is that they are totally incapable of independent thought. They actually believe that the only country in the world is the USA......sorry! I forgot. When they go to the cinema, they are occasionally reminded that Russia is out there plotting against them.
The problem is...... Shagged 8/04
