They are two sides of the same coin.....in a great many respects.
Thanks.
Well I have considered “jumping” out of the pot too....but the other “pots” that are available have similar or even worse issues....so I plan to hide under the frogs armpit....hidden in plain sight.
;-)
you noticed?....who’d a thunk
lol
everytime I think about frogs.........it reminds me of the frenchies and white flags. : )
Well, isn’t America surrendering ....out of ignorance?
LOL
I’ve seen that frog strangling the heron before....yep that would be me.
[hand smacks forehead] ;-)
In some cases; in other cases, which is worse, it's out of WILLFUL ignorance.
I guess I am a googling fool tonight. I was thinking about the first countries that started this mess. Here is an article that I found but won’t read it til tomorrow. Too long for tonight. You might be interested.

excerpt (next to last paragraph)
“Through integration processes at a regional level, development of ties between different regional groups and their individual participants, as well as through the liberalisation of world trade and the activity of multi-national corporations, the firm ground for a highly-integrated and interdependent, future world economy, is being laid.”
I’ll bet the idiots at the UN were in a panic this morning with all the world markets heading down, down, down. LOL. So much for interdependence.
I know what you mean. But, we aren’t surrender frogs. ;-)
nor surrender monkeys. : )
With all things considered and the FULL picture as clear as a bell, my only real question at this point would be...”now what?”
Prevention really ended nearly 20 yrs ago, so that’s not where I want to spend me time. Fighting with so few that even care anymore is exactly productive. And two steps forward and one step back is 100% non-productive.
Chronicle the demise of a great nation that was? Report on the growing problems that are and will continue to ripple here, just as they already have in Western Europe? Lots can be reported or chronicled, but prevention, control or change in direction is something I don’t see happening right now.
no fear........the Feds went in to bail out the markets this morning......putting off the inevitable, it appears.
And you are then getting the "full" picture....how can that happen if that's not in "the plans" to happen?
anymore is exactly = anymore isn’t exactly
There will always be some level of interdependence. But interdependence, at some level, will strengthen the need for World Government, International Courts and, of course, taxes to support them.
The cry for energy independence, while at the same time encouraging dependence on production by China (and others) of all sorts of necessary consumables, is pure hypocrisy.
