Look into the eyes of a pig and you'll see the same look you see on the face of Duane Clarridge. The definition of the ugly American.

For "national security interests" read the "interests of Kennecott Copper and the International Telephone and Telegraph Company (ITT)," i.e. large overseas American business interests.

History history history. At some point the US won't be where they are now, their bluster evaporating like morning dew.

He sounds like Billy Batts from Goodfellas "We'll intervene whenever we decide it's in our national security interests to intervene. Now go home and get y' fuckin' shinebox."

The US is the big whore the Bible speaks of in Revelations. No doubt, I am now totally convinced. Even if I am not religious.

your country has no right to develop weapons of mass destruction and tell others they may not. And ultimately you know. Yes allow teh world to the Americans, lets see what is left of it in 50 years: devastation, no biodiversity, natural disasters, etc. Let's see when the world has been totally depleted if you will think the same. In the end your country is faster than ever destroying our human life on this planet. In the end, the planet will regenerate.

Your country has no right to invade other countries with goods we dont need, to tell others to be democratic when they themselves are not. For God sake the US have two parties and all the other little parties dont even make it to the media. Your country has no right to change the laws and say that life is now a commodity. Your country has no right to impose its fake, poor conception of culture to other ocuntries on the basis of shabby economic teraties,

[Sophisima]

You are talking as if America was a Louis XIV, with absolute divine rights. Do you actually read history? Gosh. You are evil, just like them. Your country has no right to feed my country with transgenic corn when in my coutnry we have been growing corn since thousands of years; we have 400 varieties of corn, thanks to seed selection performed by farmers over centuries. This is tradition, culture. Something you dont have; all you know is hamburgers, coke and things that give us cancer.

We need to stop this! Why do we go to work for the capital, why fdo we pay tax for wars, for development projects in poor countries.. we need to stop! We are all responsible for it is with our blind, ignorant support that they are able to do all this and we are not even a happy society. What are we doing? Humanity wake up!

Thats true, but it is chilling how much hate there is in his words. I head the other day Romney speaking and then I understood the US has become the nationalist version of Louis XIV. I have lost all hope that it will ever be better in this world. To me it seems it is likely to get worse and more scary:biotechnology, implanted chips, nanotechnology, biometrics, biowar..gosh. I dont want to be part of this by paying taxes.
