Does it seem to you as if WWII never ended? Because it sure is beginning to seem that way to me.

Yeah, either that or the Cold War never ended either. It just shifted gears from an external arena to a domestic one. We are in an ideological Cold War between us and them, we know who plays for which sides. I do see things getting hotter as time goes on starting with the 2000 elections to today.

I once asked when I was 17 in 1983, a few day after KAL-007 went down. I did out just for "craps and giggles" but actually to provoke a serious discussion as well. I asked, "what if the USSR became the USA and the USA became the USSR?" I then added, "what if we became the Evil Empire?" Dead silence but we had discussions of "What ifs." I know Russia is not exactly like the USA of old, but in many ways, she is getting close or there, but we seem to be headed to where the USSR was or even past it. Heck, some boozo was talking about regulating sugar, not even the USSR did that, yeah availability might be a problem from time to time but at least they didn't tell you want to eat. Getting back to my thought experiment, I think we are going to see it carried out in real life if things do not change.

Nowhere man...not only sugar but tobacco, where can one smoke anymore, too much salt in the food, too many carbs in the school’s cafeteria and money machines, only lean meat is good for you, only certain oils are good, need I go on? Pretty soon they’re going to tell us which side of the bed to get out of.
