Whiskey Bar: The Sixteen Acre Ditch

Whiskey Bar: The Sixteen Acre Ditch

billmon goes off, again. What have we learned, indeed.

"You can learn a lot about a country in five years.

What I've learned (from 9/11, the corporate scandals, the fiasco in Iraq, Katrina, the Cheney Administration's insane economic and environmental policies and the relentless dumbing down of the corporate media -- plus the repeated electoral triumphs of the Rovian brand of 'reality management') is that the United States is moving down the curve of imperial decay at an amazingly rapid clip. If anything, the speed of our descent appears to be accelerating. "

Quite the rant there, from a rather well read lad.
