It's just sad. Even sadder that USians not only continue to frantically search for a credible scapegoat, buy also cling to the illusion that some great man is coming to save us. It is an illusion that reality will remedy, in it's own time.

This whole idea that you just need a different set of empire managers in charge is so bizarre to me.

One thing that really scares me about the fall of the empire of my birth is, even if a revolution succeeded, not only who would be in charge, but would they actually understand large scale administration, distribution, logistics, of goods and finance? We've allowed ourselves to be so proudly uneducated for si long, because "There are professionals for that." Well, yes, but honest ones?
