Golly! Lolly!

Why is the U.S. so intent on space exploration and yet only minimally concerned about pollution and the ozone layer here on earth? Do they know something that we (the common, international man) don’t know? Are they (the wealthy ones) getting ready to bail out - leaving the rest of us on earth to suffocate to death?
Who are the ones who’re polluting the earth, anyway. Certainly not me or my next-door neighbour. No. We’re interested in alternative fuels and less warfare. We’re perfectly happy to take the bike to work, with or without a raincoat. We don’t want our children to go off to war and we know that if we share the wealth (and the burden) that we’ll do pretty well for ourselves – as long as the Americans aren’t over here telling us what to think and from where the next threat will be coming.
And why is it that the U.S. is always telling us who to fear, when (the truth be told) I’ve never experienced any “direct” threat from anyone other than the United States, since the end of WWII. I don’t mean that Stalin and his cohorts weren’t down-right nasty and dangerous, and that the U.S. weren’t the “good guys” during the two World Wars. No. I’m just saying that since the end of the Second World War the U.S. hasn’t proven itself to be any less evil than the “Global Soviet Threat”. And while we’re on the subject, daily events have proven that the U.S. were NOT so goody-goody after all and now that the Soviet Union is kaput, it is the U.S. who‘s taken on the cape of deceit and treachery. Without the once established East/West balance of world domination, the true colours of the U.S. are becoming more apparent. I suppose that they’ve got no-one to answer to, and that explains whey they’ve so blatantly thumbed their noses at the U.N. - time and time again.
The Soviet Union was a threat to the world in that they practiced something nowhere near what the founders of communism had envisioned for the populations of the world. In other words it did not follow the righteous philosophy of founding communist principles any more than the U.S. adheres to good, solid, capitalist principles. The Untied States won the war of the Titans but she does not represent sound capitalist principles any more than the Soviet Union represented communism based upon Karl Marx. What the majority of the world was left with (at the end of the Second World War), was a split between non-communism and non-capitalism – both corruptions of two, well-meaning ideologies.
The “majority” of Arab nations are a clump of pathetic, down-trodden, ignoramuses - misusing the earth and blaming all their problems on “infidels” and anyone whose got ten cents more than they. But in the end, the rest of the world will have to join forces with these Arabs because if we wait until they’ve been beaten into the dust, the Americans will eventually be knocking on the door of the rest of us with the same message; “Give us a monopoly on your wealth and your resources or we’ll invest vast fortunes to destroy your lives and your democratic government, just as we did in Iran.”
