I always find it so amusing when a bunch of convicts, black sheep and
discarded gentry whose morals made them unacceptable in their own
country, plus a bunch of people who were either starving, or whose
religious attitudes were so uptight that they couldn't be tolerated ,
arrive in a place teeming with natural resources (and virtually empty
apart from a few asiatics, who treat them very nicely and help stop
them dying of stupidity), and then proceed to breed like rabbits,
commit genocide on the natives, rape the resources and turn it into
the tackiest example of vulgar ostentation since Eve discovered bling,
have the nerve to assert that the only thing they actually know,
making money, is somehow indicative of superior religious political
and moral standards.

Or that a tradition of racism, genocide and slavery is somehow
liberating.

Oh well. It's all over now, baby blue. The resources have run out, and
china wants its cash back.

And those who confuse being in the right place at the right time with
innate superiority, are in for a rude awakening.


More mindless ranting from the burnt out hippie alcoholic. You
might
as well stop setting followup-to: to alt.flame, asshole. I know you
think you're smart, but you've burnt out too many neurons with the pot
and other drugs.
At least I had some to burn out...

Key word - "had"
