Topic: Angelo M Codevilla -- America's Ruling Class

A lengthy article on the uselessness of partisanship in America.  I think he is dead-on about a lot of it.  However I am not pessimistic about the outcome.  The collapse is going to be too sharp.  Too many of us remember when Economy and Society got along without Government.  It was a total failure of elected American national government that gave us the Bill of Rights.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

A powerful article, not the only from the Spectator recently.

Stock up gold before Dec 31st and all the guns, ammo, and food you can as well.

Going to be bad.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!
Kemp currently not being responded to until he makes CONCISE posts.
Avogardo and Noir ignored by me for life so people know why I do not respond to them. (Informational)

Re: Angelo M Codevilla -- America's Ruling Class

"If, for example, you are Laurence Tribe in 1984, Harvard professor of law, leftist pillar of the establishment, you can "write" your magnum opus by using the products of your student assistant, Ron Klain. A decade later, after Klain admits to having written some parts of the book, and the other parts are found to be verbatim or paraphrases of a book published in 1974, you can claim (perhaps correctly) that your plagiarism was "inadvertent," and you can count on the Law School's dean, Elena Kagan, to appoint a committee including former and future Harvard president Derek Bok that issues a secret report that "closes" the incident."

At my university if you get caught for plagiarism they perform a damnatio memoriae smile
