But these days the fact that the USA is not the center of the universe is almost inescapable. One need only turn on the nightly news or the internet to see that we are not alone. At this point if an American doesn't know where the major players are they are just ignorant...either willfully or naively. This is more the discussion I was hoping the OP would stick around for, btw. |
Yah. Just look at the dollar and stuff and how weak it is now, and how dependent we are on foreign oil and the like. Some of the government folk act like we are still the dominate player, and we are in some ways of course, but it's not like 20 years ago. Maybe it'll change with a new president, whoever it is. Just the fact that a site/thread like this has people commenting from all over the world says something about how important it is to take all views into account.
I would like to see what the OP would say to this discussion too, BTW, but I think that guy was run off pretty early on. Sad that people can't et opposing views speak and just disagree w/o making them feel like a kitten at a dog show.
EDIT: "kitten at a dog show" is funnier now that I realize that guy's tag was lionkitten. Unintentional but funny if I do say so myself. :)
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
