I choose only to say that I see no reason to go to Europe to hear what I'm reading on this list. I've heard it and read it from five hundred years of contact and I see no reason to subject anyone to it. Least of all me. It's the same old stuff that caused 98 million people to die. I think the few of us left have the right to a little peace and grief. We don't need to vacation there and spend our money. We have our own mountains.

You hate & disdain Europeans & their technology, but now you bring an example where only European technology can save you and all that you love. Ironic, isn't it? What would Indians do against the asteroid threat? Send some smoke signs, shoot a few arrows, or sacrifice some children to please the gods? Oh no, they wouldn't even notice that there's a threat in the first place.

Did you forget how the Indian tribes fell over each other to collaborate with the European armies against each other? Well, at least they had NO "over-involvement with social contracts", indeed! Talk about collective defense. > You have obviously been children of entitlement when it comes to > protection from the real. Ironic #3. You don't even accept reality when I try to explain it to you over pages. Instead, you stick to esoterical dogmas and other Predator propaganda such as TweedleDem PR. Although they won't protect you when push comes to shove, such as when their de-populationist cull hits. On 9/11, you already received a little fore-taste in NYC with all that asbestos dust in your lungs. Now perhaps if you could finally clear up who did this inside job, and prosecute the perps? That could save many lives in Iraq, Afghanistan etc., both among local civilians & US servicemen. But as a singer in the army, you have obviously been a child of entitlement when it comes to protection from the real...
