Ninety miles from the South Eastern tip of the United States, Liberty has no stead. In order for Liberty to exist and thrive, Tyranny must be identified, recognized, confronted and extinguished.
Yeah. Someone was suggesting that we hadn't been hit hard, harder, because they can't. Truth is, we are fragile, and a couple million, and actually fifty dollars, could see our world leadership ended. Simply killing the grid. Fifty would be about the cost of ammunition to hit the right spots, though you wouldn't use all of it.
The reason it hasn't happened is because if we go down, everybody goes down with us. Arabs would become nomads, the few who survive carnage surrounding the... restructuring. Much else that he indicates would simply go away. Many places, to include China, are only getting rich because they are making things for Americans to buy. As with islam and oil. Take that away and it all goes away. Even the leftists know that. Even if they don't like it, they sure as hell don't want to lose their cushy uni jobs and such. All a high *cough* IQ gets you in a feudal world is more misery. :)
Funny, I just mention much of this on another post, then this pops. Though for very different reasons. Looks like Whittle has his head on right. Finally. You do realize he used to be a hardcore leftist, don't you?

Thanks for posting this. I don't check Whittle as often as I should!

Never heard that about him, and I can't find any references to it, other than he worked in Hollywood for a while.
