OIF, i.e. how we behave towards the world.

Unrestrained American capitalism.

The irony is that the third fled to China and then got outfoxed by the Chinese.

Our unrestrained capitalism is still here screwing us over. Best example being our healthcare system.

Manufacturing is being outsourced to take advantage of lower cost labor in the quest for profit.

Unless there's some chemical imbalance in the brain, or a neurological issue, or some sort of organic problem in the brain, it seems to me that everything comes down to the developmental environment. Like they teach us in school and clinical training programs...bio-psycho-social.

It's a barbarous world. It's a barbarous species. But this culture we live in has everything. Enough of everything for everybody to have a decent existence with enough money, food, shelter, clothing, opportunity. And we don't do it.

Said it before. People are probably sick of it, but I'll say it again...this country was founded on the worst possible combination of philosophies...

Puritanism
Utopianism
Individualism

Just for a special little treat, the Manifest Destiny cherry on top.

If the election of 2016 and the almost four years that have followed it has shown us anything it's that after almost 250 years, we're still stuck right in the middle of it.

True. Although I thought the "Manifest Destiny" covered that a bit.
