| Reasonable said: I've never wanted a tattoo - well actually scratch that. I like the idea of some body decoration in principle, but until they invent a nice modern method where you can remove it, change it, etc. at whim like putting on a T-Shirt with a print then for me it's no thanks. |
Yes, if only someone would invent temporary tatoos.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
