Excuse me, but YOU are the one "shooting from the hip" with your nasty gruffiness, completely uncalled for.
Somehow your missive to spend time doing whatever is not at all conducive to me doing anything, but this I can write here and that the United States is no fall guy for all the woes and hard luck stories of why Southern Americans just HAVE to grow narcotics and engage in terrorism of the narco kind.
I've read all the apologetics for their (and, probably, yours) concept of victimizations and it seems to me that it's a case of bad character. Bad character always blames others for their own bad choices, bad behaviors.
It's mostly a problem of, face it squarely or not, but the Spanish method of conquering and doling out and down monarchy as government. Their legacy was never one to inspire people to govern themselves, but to be governed. Thus, the monarchy retreats and people who don't understand self government remain. That's what we have in South and Central America today, as legacy from their political pasts.
And, people such as that are always ripe for dictatorships. They are still expecting salvation by monarchy. It also explains their senseless dedications to drug cartels, in my opinion, as general cultures.
Not all of them, but most on average. Peru has made progress and elevated as a civilization, for example.
South America has all, if not more, than the natural resources that North America had and has. There's no way to excuse it not being used well or to the benefit of civilzation.
Your snippy, foolish nastiness doesn't do much to help them or any discussion about their plight, either.
ha. excellent point.
What a wasteland South America is.
I agree, sometimes the best way to combat socialism is to just let it fail on it's own. Of course, Cuba is an exception, because Castro rules by fear. But Chavez and his ilk don't have the luxury Fidel has, a few years of failed economy and Chavez will get the Allende treatment.
No one really cares whether you or I agree or not or will kiss and make up.
Your methods are deliberately misleading and dishonest and calculated to ambush anyone who happens upon one of your "casual observations ".
When called on for your carelessness you then respond full of huff and puff AND RATHER SURPRISINGLY, fairly well read and even astute on some of the subtle aspects of the subject you originally treated so carelessly.
Some have called this "waiting in the weeds" for a victim. You are an expert at it. And probably a not very happy person.
I went back to see how and what you discuss on this site and found more of your scat on the trail. Yep!
You use the assumption of collegiality that obtains here to ruin others days as might be expected.
This response is already too long. Hope you find better use of your time...and share more of that gifted mind you have been blessed with.
