Here we are, 30 years after a million Russians were poised to pour through the Fulda Gap opposed by V Corps. They had 25,000 nuclear weapons headed straight at us. Some people thought they were 9 feet tall, but on 11/9/89 the Berlin Wall was dismantled. in 1995, everybody thought that Japan, and MITI, along with the keiretsu would conquer us, before they imploded. They are barely Five Five. On 9/11/2001 19 Saudis and 2 others destroyed the WTC, wreaking havoc among us and our government. Since then we have commenced the "Global War on Terror" and to date, have succeeded in ousting Saddam Hussein, and upending the Middle East. But where has our "success" taken us?
I might be named an "Enemy Combatant" and until last week, I could be put in a cell with no chance of judicial review, no nothing. We have doubled the debt, and there is no "Death Tax" but there is a Birth Tax of about 50 grand a kid; who will pay that? There are a number of other rambling thoughts I have and maybe someday I'll be as famous as Charles Johnson. Until then, suffer with me as I point out the unmet needs and aspirations of a frustrated and long suffering Cubs fan.
