Three bits of long-settled wisdom that my country forgot during my adult life:
- Avoid land wars in Asia
- Keep a sharp eye on the bankers
- Prohibition causes more problems than it solves
The last one seems to be meming just now (NSFW; thnx to Fred for the pointer).


And one more. Corporations exist to make money for their share holders. Period.

That'll be the day. I've already bought a camouflage onesie for my one month old nephew, just to prepare him for the inevitable. Land of the free, baby. 'Murica!
