Post #20,527 by Ashton 12/6/01 5:38:53 PM Reply	Al punte mon fr\ufffdre: No Balance of Power today exists.. That which sustained all throughout the 30 Years War, the 100 Years War, the ___ Wars ...ad nauseum ad infinitum and --> ongoing.. through the perpetual adolescence of homo non compos mentis. There is No Place in the (This!) World for Just One Superpower! as your Yin/Yang simile wisely reminds. And at the present rate of accidental contretemps - there Will be an opposition coalition created.. eventually.. to counter our unsustainable hegemony \ufffdber alles. Microsloth is what you get, with Just One of ANYTHING. (And with an Ashcroftian/Billyan at the helm) 'Balance' or.. Worldwide Dystopia via (virtual) Dictat. We are dumb enough collectively - maybe?? - that either is a possible fork, in some next: depending IMhO on just how long we can keep it in the pants. Period. One Nuke next: can ruin Your Whole \ufffdon. Ashton
Post #20,530 by screamer 12/6/01 5:58:43 PM Reply	Balance... It is an impossible judgement to make. I still want to remain hopeful that one superpower can thrive in a world... History is against it (see Rome, Greece, Great Britain, etc...), but there is a chance that we could become enlightened... Unfortunately, our greed (commonly euphemized "business interests"), tends to make us want to build empires and makes it harder from us to steer clear of tyrants. Given the nature of this country, we basically are a decent lot - way too materialistic for some culture's tastes... Oh, all right. You are probably right. Just wish it weren't so...
