Re: hear from a conservatively inclined but not entirely lunatic person
I am an Australian so do not have a full understanding of this issue. It is very interesting to read about though as it is a global issue.
One of the ideas presented, I believe it was Cashfrog's (if not let me know) was that capitalist consumer societies can no longer take advantage of other nations. Capitalist consumer societies have begun feeding from themselves and each other.
This does seem to be an accurate assessment of what is occuring. It is what is happening here in Australia also.

I do my share of name calling and swearing in my posts but this -
I would take personal responsibility for the ass kicking you’d receive if we ever met face to face. I’d gladly do some time, and pay a fine to kick your punk ass. I just know that you would never show up, so keep talking your shit, and I'll keep talking mine. deal?
People resort to violence when they are not smart enough to come up with any other means to debate.
The threat of violence immediately advertises that you are not smart enough to continue the discussion.
It would be better if you took your bat and your ball and went home.
The adults are talking.

I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong
