73. The bosses don't make revolutions. America is the boss nation and the revolution has begun.

Sun May 20, 2012, 01:11 PM

May 2012

We have painted ourselves into a small corner exploiting the rest of the world to provide us with luxury. Now we are dependent on the colonies to continue to supply us. They've grown weary of doing so while going hungry and want their piece of the pie.

Now we devote a very large portion of our wealth vainly trying to keep them in line fighting unwinnable wars.

Time to move on and become just another 2nd rate power and trying getting along with the rest of the world instead of bullying it.
