And it seems you just can't find a news site that gives a fair shake to permawar, war without end. They never tell you about the good that comes with it: what it does to boost the economy, how it helps cut unemployment or the breathtaking pyrotechnic displays it dishes up, absolutely free of charge, to backward brown people around the planet. Talk about goodwill to man. And the endless criticism of rising fascism. Sure, Hitler and Mussolini got it wrong but do you think the Wright brothers succeeded on their first attempt at heavier than air flight? No, Mister, they didn't. And look at our near perfect exploitation of the Earth's resources. We're getting somewhere around 170% out of Mother Earth. Humans in previous eras never came close to that. And, of course, there are people like Thomas Pikkety and Joe Stiglitz and that guy Krugman with their endless whining but isn't that what Nobel laureates do?<br /><br />With all this doom and gloom where would we be without Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, FOX News and that magnificent orange bastard in the White House?
