somewhere along the way. I forget who coined that word and spoke out against it... so much horrible, gut wrenching stuff has happened I find I scramble for bookmarks and sometimes just can't find the right word to put in a Search Engine to revive the memory.

But...Damn it All...if we aren't EMPIRE BUILDING then what the Hell are we doing Spying on most of the Worlds Population and Rulers (in one way or the other) along with Exporting Arms for Conflicts everywhere we can stick our foot in (because we don't manufacture much of anything anymore except Military/Parts for Military, Drones, and Guns and ENTERTAINMENT/INFOTAINMENT to Export about how Great and Decadent We have become so that we can encourage Other Countries to Follow us!

What the hell do we do here in America Anymore? Where is the GOOD?
