I was eighteen. I was in college. [My sentences were more than four word long and did not all start with first-person pronouns.] My time was mostly spent playing ping-pong and hanging out. But for one brief moment I knew and cared enough about a topic to create an entire web page devoted to it (thanks in part to my roommate's prodding, of course). I may have overestimated my level of knowledge, but I think I managed to do alright anyway. Since then my interests have shifted, and I lapsed back into being a strict generalist, so it will be a while before I could even attempt to repeat the feat. Classic Games Emulation.
By the way, I know my last two titles (at least) have been dreadful, and while I think the last post made a good point, it used a terrible analogy. Alas, where is sophistication?
Alright, excuse me as I play a crank economist for a moment (and please correct me if I am wrong): Does the United States have the same rights as other states? Whether we do in a technical sense, I would suggest that given our situation we must be careful in asserting that "right." The United States accounts for roughly one quarter of the cumulative gross domestic product of all nations. In school yard terms, in a class of 20 second graders, based on the average weights of seven year olds, that would be like one of the children weighing over 400 pounds! Should that child be allowed to hit back if one of the merely average 87 pound children hit them? Perhaps, but what of the consequences? Similarly, the United States is capable of of acting with disproportionate force in any area affected by our economic capacity.
