What gave you the upper hand were the Age of Exploration and the geographical discoveries. Before that, Turks dominated much of Eurasia. Extremely brave yet barbaric pirates discovered the American continent; the natives were devastated by diseases, and the survivors were forced to work under brutal conditions until they died. Then you turned your eyes toward Africa, exploited its underground resources, and imported countless slaves. India was not enough — you even brought the mighty Chinese Empire to its knees. In the lands you conquered, you gave places names like New Zealand, New York, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, as if the whole world revolved around England.

At the same time, you built the Enlightenment, positive science, and so-called universal values. You carried out the Industrial Revolution; production and technology revolved around you. The birth of capitalism was your creation, and modernization came to be seen as synonymous with Westernization. Your ideologies ending in “-ism” shape the lives of people all around the world, and I am writing this damned text in your language.

But in a dynamic world, the sun is no longer moving from east to west across the Atlantic — it is shifting toward the Pacific, and the Chinese are beginning to take your place.

Anyway, back to the point: yes, are you proud of it?

Grunge, grit, amateur. Whatever you want to call it.

Less polish - more spit ; raw spit that is.
(No innuendo, no.)

The only thing that has improved in 20 years of TV and film - high definition. Just, high def.

It just seems like it looks so cool and so flashy and shiny - and it's fantastic in high definition in this glorious 2020s decade.

However - 👀👀 unless it's just my nostalgia and my own eyeballs - has what the "product' lost visually is "any sense of this being amateur or gritty" - aka a lot of polish and not a lot of - grit.

Or even - spit. So to speak. I guess it's like watching something on a home video camera versus high definition camera in between only 20 years.

After all, months ago I posted the original version. The acoustic certainly still has that grand twang sound - 🎸👌🏻 🆗

Trump can't negotiate a whore into bed. He just assaults them. Iran won't accept US terms ever. Trump agrees to their terms then backs out. He can't be trusted and his word means nothing now. Will Trump now just send 100,000 troops in and watch them die?

The perfect cover for Trump to claim an National Emergemcy to cancel elections , so Republicans can stay in power. Democrats would have swepted elections Federal, State , County, and Cities.

Do you like it?

Will Trump admit he was wrong? Or Will Trump just fire 10 people and blame them? If he doesn't the war with Iran will continue on.

Always thought their hate bandwagon was totally undeserved.

They say people should be moved now from New Orleans as sea water moves in. It could be under water in 10 to 20 years. Do you believe in Global Climate Change? Or is it just erosion?
