		<description>This article isn&#039;t quite complete, and therefore I think it&#039;s wrong.  

There is always something that is threatening the existence of every civilization.  Right now, yes, political correctness is the present insanity.  After WWI it was isolationism combined with a terrible racism (and this hasn&#039;t completely gone away).  You could have taken more bets on the collapse of the West during the Depression, which wasn&#039;t so much an institutional failure as much as the institutions weren&#039;t clear on their role.

Ultimately, I think a case could be made that American psychology still hasn&#039;t left the family farm--that is, if the household is okay, then there isn&#039;t any need to look too far over the neighbor&#039;s fence.  I see quite a few folks ignoring much of what is going on around them, concerned primarily with their household--and rightly so.

The question is, can America mobilize it&#039;s resources, enough resources, to meet the challenges the world throws over our fences? Pearl Harbor was one such event.  Many thought 9/11 was enough to do the same.  Turns out, it wasn&#039;t.  Yes, we&#039;re fighting terrorists, but not terrorism.  If some other attack occurs that just one bullet will not solve--then we might decide to fight terrorism itself.

Since America does not want to be an empire, we do seemingly insane things, like continuing to give away power.  But that&#039;s what we do.  That doesn&#039;t take away our ability to mobilize like a great empire and preserve Western Civilization.

We&#039;ve done this several times.  I don&#039;t think this ability has been lost.</description>

		<description>VVV wrote, &quot;I think Dostoyevsky had the definitive statement of the “do-gooder’s” real intentions and motivations in “The Grand Inquisitor” segment of “The Brothers Karamazov”.

In a Russian context, I can see how these insights drove Dostoyevsky toward the Orthodox Church as the solution to Russia’s problems. In an American context, libertarianism is the appropriate response, I agree.&quot;

Wasn&#039;t Alyosha a do-gooder?  What I remember from the Grand Inquisitor scene is when he (as a representative of the Church) told Jesus to get lost, that he was not needed.

I think that Dostoyevsky respected and admired to some degree sincere do-gooders like Alyosha and Sonia (in C&amp;P,) but did not like hypocritical or dense do-gooders like Lebeziatnikov (also in C&amp;P).  I don&#039;t think that Dostoyevsky cared all that much for capitalists, either, especially those who were enamored of their own accomplishments.
   
And then there is Svidrigailov</description>

		<description>RE #9/ scythe:

[...] Political correctness was not born out of kindness but is explained as such to deceive its victims. It is a weapon and was always a weapon of the left. Political correctness is used to spread the contagion of Marxism. The useful idiots are then lied to and told it must be used not to offend. [...]

Isn&#039;t communism/ equalitarianism the ultimate form of political correctness?</description>

		<description>Ha, Veni:

Most importantly, over half 50 and over, and nearly ALL with no children in household. You keep going out and finding statistics to respond to arguments I&#039;m not making. You&#039;re good at that. It must be your early alzheimers.

A. I made an argument ABOUT THE PEOPLE COMMENTING HERE. Your graph has no such information. Indeed, this cohort could be comprised solely of the least educated, most toothless and poverty-stricken dirt-scratchers, and you&#039;ve nothing to prove or disprove that. And I have to say that there can be little doubt about that. 

B. As I claimed I would make a serious bet that a sizeable proportion of the SelfPwnage Media readership is on Medicare and Social Security; we can see that&#039;s probably true from the very information that you supplied, idiot. Most importantly, I would bet that nearly all of those writing here are.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Nope. Not even 40.
Veni:
An honest mistake; your cognitive difficulties imply an elderly person with dementia.&lt;/i&gt;

And your posts imply an infant&#039;s thoughts funneled through a sub-moron with Tourette&#039;s.

As I said, the next fact you post here will be your first:

Of note to your &quot;bet&quot; is Income and Education stat.

Didn&#039;t you see &quot;Tropic Thunder&quot; on going &#039;full retard&#039;?</description>
