No, I don't think we are. But I'll refrain for now in performing dramatically for you, wil, because clearly you are not interested. I will say that there are and have been many other cultural experiences of people which have been consumed by the official version of history. I am not talking about nations like China, Japan, or modern-day India.

Anyhow, enjoy your benevolent fantasy of care-taking of the poor, starving masses. It's true, you're not really directly hurting anyone.

What are you doing exactly?? That makes the world any better? What would that be? Perhaps if you inform us all, we can help? Then we won't be in fantasy but really be helping like you are.....

Re: Improve vocabulary and feed people.

I actually believe the era of US imperialism will not last too much longer(maybe another 50-100 years). Like I indicated it is a drop in the bucket in relation to global domination of powers of the past. Our version of the fall of the Roman Empire is in site. With all our debt to China, the trade deficit, their increasing navy, space program, industrial, commercial, economic, social growth. They will soon be the dominant power in the world.

It will be upto history to determine which country when acting as the big dog on the block treated the rest the best.

One could ask Saigon, Hong Kong, Japan, Tibet, how they think the world will fair.
