Oohh, but you guyses aren't seeing the big picture as it plays out right in front of your eyes. McCain gets elected Prez (sorry) and he dies within two years. That makes you-know-who take power, yer new President Palin. She's incompetent and thus, completes the downfall of the American empire. Taking advantage, China (or Russia or Iraq, you choose) picks a fight and the red button is pushed. This is around 2010 and the beginning of the Great Disaster, leading to the 2012 "end of the world as we know it". Focus, people, the wheels are in motion! A frightening but completely plausible scenario.

The end of the American Empire is a consummation devoutly to be wished (a country founded on the principles this one was founded upon has no business building an empire) but I can do without that whole "end of the world" thing. Why can't Canada be the superpower and make the world a cleaner, politer place? Come on you guys up north, sack up. I'll eat poutine, whatever you want.

Heh, you'll eat poutine, and you'll like it, eh! Poutine rocks! Okay, I'm not the conspiracy theorist here, but a good friend of mine, who is bright, well-read, and has an MSc, actually believes that men never landed on the moon. She's educated, but...maybe not very smart? I don't know.

My crazy ass great grandmother was convinced that the moon landings were faked.

Of course the moon landings were faked. The whole purpose of that was twofold: To make the US king of the world in space exploration, stick it to those Russkies for ever and always with the whole "We beat you to the moon" thing. The second reason is so all that money that is budgeted to "space exploration" actually goes to stuff like building the secret Armageddon hiding place under the Denver airport. You have to put it all together.

SweetOblivion - thanks for that link! I've never seen that! Mugsy, of course. I am converted. Absolutely, you're completely correct...I'm drinking the Kool-aid as I type.

Me too!! I am so grateful for Wikipedia. I've been reading up on this for a while--I went on an extended bummer train a while ago thinking about the space dogs and primates in NASA and the Soviet program.
