Au contraire mon ami! The world DOES in fact revolve around the USA. Our culture and ideals have taken over nearly every corner of the world. Our economy is HUGE, no other country on this earth can hope to thrive without us. Compare North and South Korea.... The South are our friends, the North are our enemies. The south sells us cars and electronics and they enjoy a wonderful standard of living, the north sells us nothing and they eat straw and/or starve without heat or electricity.
WE ARE ROME, although, unlike Rome we don't pratice genocide to make our point. And I'm not talking mamby pamby PC speak genocide where you blabber on about the hegemony of fast food culture being "genocide"
in developing cultures, I'm talking about sending in a fews legion of centurians to kill every man woman and child in a country or region and leave the bodies our to rot as a reminder to anyone else who thinks it would be smart to challenge Rome's will. No we "rule the world" with free trade, allowing friendly countries access to our markets and money, thereby bringing increases to their standard of living along the way (again, look at South Korea). We are such horrible people....so arrogant...so self righteous...blah blah blah. Get your head out of your ass and FOR ONCE be proud at what your country has accomplished.
Got news for ya sparky, the world could do much worse than to have us as it's "master". Just think of say.... oh .... I don't know... Adolph Hitler. Had the maniacal ridgeling (yes it's true he had one nut) been left to conquer the world unchecked due to the self loathing isolationism of people like yourself, I'm sure the nazi's wouldn't have been arrogant in how they ran things. They would have been most polite about killing your whole family in retaliation for you having voiced your displeasure with your country.
In short, it's easy to be a Bohemian "free thinker" and condemn your country, hey anarchy is fun...I've had a blast with it from time to time, but the real world is ugly, violent and, frankly, jealous of us. If being here and experiencing the peace and prosperity that our arrogant big mouths (and hundred trillion dollar economy) have brought to you trouble you so much, the only intellectually honest thing to do is leave and join the oppressed masses in the rest of the world. Renounce your citizenship and fight against US dominance. Don't expect many people to join your cause however, bitching about the US is common sport, but it is just that. Come Monday morning when it's time to buy and sell, the US market is right in the middle or their daily lives, hopes and dreams.
