Too Prig Not to Fail
China’s no longer ten feet tall because it’s too corrupt.
Greece can’t even competently accept a handout. Brazil’s left wing president is facing huge crowds calling for her resignation because she’s ruined everything. Venezuela’s socialists, the last rolls of toilet paper gone are finally discrediting themselves. Castro is reduced to cadging a handout from Obama to support his global revolution, proving that he can’t run a country but he can outsmart the man from Chicago.

With all the failures going on elsewhere ours don't look so bad.
It's only money. If we launch an all out war we could build up our reserves with slaves, breeders; kill the warriors and every male in sight, burn the fields and salt the wells. Destroy the buildings such that no stone lays atop another.

Mikey, sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
In a battle between the Ephramites and the men of Gilead forty and two thousand were on that day slain.
Forty two thousand slain with swords, spears, arrows, clubs. In one day.
That's taking care of business.

At the end of that day, gallons of Blue Emu were slathered on arms and backs. No one cared about the stink.
