That's an excellent synopsis! You have valid points. -more- arf Jul 16, 10:53

I'd argue though, that in most of those cases, not a lot of thought was put into installing a Western-style government. RogerMore Jul 16, 13:52

We agree, I'm just not a wordsmith. Though 'changing government' ends up being tacked onto most actions. -more- arf Jul 16, 14:32

But see, I'm not sure that we do agree - you're still drawing very different conclusions than I am about the problems that exist and what RogerMore Jul 16, 15:28

I mean that we agree on some of the major problems facing us. Though we have different solutions and ideas. {nm} arf Jul 16, 16:24

Sometimes it's about THIEVERY - 'STEALING A NATION'. Captain Obvious Jul 16, 15:29

Thanks Mr. Obvious, I hadn't even heard of that before, only Diego Garcia without history. {nm} arf Jul 16, 16:17

Seemingly Absent from US History Textbooks - the American & British Theft of an Entire Country. {nm} Captain Obvious Jul 16, 16:33

There's lots of history revision going on, mostly in the form of "less you know, the better". -more- arf Jul 16, 17:32

Reagan had very little contact with reality in governmental matters. He is the one who endorsed "trickle down" economics after all. {nm} DTravel Jul 16, 21:20

Reduced double digit interest rates, inflation and unemployment. DanU Jul 17, 07:31

only sith deal in absolutes, my dude. {nm} Pepe_Nolan Jul 17, 09:27

"Only Sith" is an absolute! Nice Jedi mentoring, Obi-Wan. {nm} RogerMore Jul 17, 10:44

To be honest, I've never been hired by a poor person. {nm} arf Jul 16, 22:49

You don't know that. Just because someone owns a business, does not mean they are inherently rich or even personally doing well. BSmurf Jul 17, 06:59

weak argument...the poor don't have the assests to risk, in the first place. Pepe_Nolan Jul 17, 09:24

Lack of argument. Come back when you know what you're talking about, Banks lend money to small biz startups all the time. BSmurf Jul 17, 10:49

well, we did fight ourselves to end slavery, and saved the world from being Hitlerland. You're welcome. Pepe_Nolan Jul 17, 17:14

I know this much now: You guys pay WAY more attention to politics than I do. I don't even have a TV. {nm} arf Jul 19, 23:37
