The Myth

They say it’s the world of information.  Whoever controls the flow and, as always, who gets the info first wins.  The truth is our world is a world of crap – flimsy clothes, endlessly banal commercials, corrupt bankers and senile pols.  

It’s all crap and because of that, the foundation, which the modern world is built upon, is crumbling.  The dominant force in any culture becomes the gravitational force which we all must endure.  Our myth is simple.  America’s youthful power is what buttresses our metaphysical behavior.  We’ll blow you away!  We’re not kidding.  Back off.  We’ve done it and we’ll do it again until we get tired and worn out and become like Europe: a sad, socialistic world of care and conformity.
