China has so many surplus men that Bejing Disneyland "It's a Small World" is gonna use bachelors instead of puppets

come to think, that's EXACTLY what Kim Jong Il has done in North Korea with those Jurche parades

we'll become a larger Zimbabwe.

"So you confirm what I say Yell. Laws don't apply to America when America says so.

Sovereignity is the most imortant international principle. Don't call it rule 1234.56, you know better than that. "

It comes down to my basic rant against postmodernist culture, the Inertial Juggernaut of the Failed Bureacratic Paradigm, which I shall call "Phred".

In the wild wooly 19th century, when any shopkeeper with balls could become an emperor after a decade of war, they had some basic rules about "sovereignity":

Dude:  Bro, is it right for a guy to come to my house and slay me and burn it down?

Bro:    Dude, I should say not, if you had not raided him first.

Dude:  Bro, do I have the right to stop his criminal attacks?

Bro:    Certainly, Dude, and your community should support you.

Dude:  And should the national authorities help me too?

Bro:    I would say the need to do so justifies the power of the national State.

Dude:  what if the guy is not one guy but a group of guys from a neighboring state?

Bro:    if some shopkeeper with balls is Emperor of that state, he is answerable to your government for allowing guys to run rampage across the   border.   But if that neighboring region is still gripped by a contest between shopkeepers, then your state can go in and dispense cowboy justice and maybe set up a friendly shopkeeper as Emperor there, to rein in guys.

And so it was, and personal justice and the rights of the individual were the basis for the power of thrones.  Until the Emperors got so suave they figured out the best sort of reprisal is a sneak attack, and if the Emperor tricks his Bros into thinking some other Guy started it by attacking some Dude, then he has it all over a truthful Empire that knows war isn't necessary and sincerely hopes a Conference of Powers will restore apathy.

Today we have Phred. 

Dude:  Phred, is it right for a guy to come to my house and slay me and burn it down?

Phred: It is generally understood to compromise international guarantees of human rights.

Dude:  Phred, do I have the right to stop his criminal attacks?

Phred: There you get onto damp quicksand.

Dude: But if his acts compromise my rights, surely I can stop him?

Phred: To avoid is better than to dodge. To dodge is better than to check.  To check is better than to maim.  To maim is better than to kill.  For all life is precious, and none of it can be replaced.    That's my favorite speech from the Kung Fu TV show.

Dude:  And should the national authorities help me too?

Phred: Some national authorities choose to say "yes" and some choose to say "no".

Dude:  what if the guy is not one guy but a group of guys from a neighboring state?

Phred:  I suggest you move.

Dude:  How is that right?

Phred: Look fella...

Dude:  'Dude'.

Phred: Look Dude, clearly having Emperors slug it out is nasty, right?  Clearly a global framework of justice is better, right?  Also clearly having 6 billion Dudes complain about Guys gets bogged down pretty damn fast, right?  We're talking, DMV times a million.  So quite clearly a global framework of justice which represents states and not individuals works faster than a global framework of justice that represents Dudes.  Thefore, a Phred that deals with Emperors is better than a Phred that bothers with Dudes.  So, piss off unless you become Emperor.

Dude: so no Dude or bunch of Dudes can have a Claim for justice against any Guy or Emperor, not even through my Emperor?

Phred:  Admitting that would be like condemning Phred for existing, since Phred cannot work that way. Long Live Phred!

me I'm a dude and I don't admit the reign of Phred.

1.  Anybody can do anything anywhere if you're prepared for a shitstorm to follow.
2.  Anybody wants to get between us and Bin Laden can breathe flame, far as I care. You want WW3, bring it.
3.  IF, and this is just crazy, IF a global criminal was living in the USA, (i mean COME ON), and some government wanted to whack him, they'd just beat him to death in a McDonalds and spread the rumor it was cause he wore  the wrong color shirt

wrote a rejected sequel for "There Will Be Blood"

Brits saw "The Godfather" and copied the wedding scene

Obama saw "The Godfather" and copied the hit on Tattaglia in his bedroom

"Arabic names won't go into English, exactly, for their consonants are not the same as ours, and their vowels, like ours, vary from district to district.  There are some "scientific systems" of transliteration, helpful to people who know enough Arabic not to need helping, but a wash-out for the world.  I spell my names anyhow, to show what rot the systems are."  - Lawrence of Arabia

I think Pakistan has enough pakistanis in USA to explain this

"Oh yeah, we knew he was there.  Like Michael Corleone said, keep your friends close but your enemies closer."
