Woot!
Cheers for that,Bruce.I know it'll happen.Its just great to ride teh wild turkeh train until that occurs.
It satisfies my Brit sense of pertpetual (lesser) tension,until it happens.
But as British,we both have to have a sense of 'Eventuall Failure of Empire' until it occurs.(Damn you,you've condemned me to another drink before I retreat bedwards).
As Brits,we now possess a perpetual sensation of 'The Retreat of Empire.'.Its no bad thing,as the current richest nation on Earth,you too will experience the cost of maintaining an Empire,it doesnt come cheap (in blood or money-imperialism's days have come and gone.).
If this looks like a cheap shot at what America has accomplished,you're wrong.I admire what you stand for,and your principles,I despise the popularist competition your political parties have made of it.
Its the competition that still ensues that whcih has caused us to visit you...

As far as 'Forms of Government' goes,even Winston Churchilll said that Democracy is the worst form of Government.
Democracy ensures that almost nothing worthwhile is ever achieved,for long.

I dont look for critique upon this viewpoint.Its 'un-marketable' as far as moderm media is concerned,which ,if you accept that,makes tyranny almost acceptable.Its the changeable nature of 'democracy' that makes it ultimately a poor choice.A continual thread of change or effort is needed.

Must retreat to bed now,as I'm too drunk (in a British style) to draw conclusions from my rantishness,and objectionality.
Good Night,and God Bless.xxxx
