I think mother earth will tame the beast that is American military intervention around the world, considering we're going to have to start seriously investing in our levees and bridges and other pieces of infrastructure.

  1. If you are asking if America will abandon its shortsighted military first approach to solving world problems? No. They like to do it that way. If you are asking if we will discontinue the policies that allow our nation's infrastructure to decay while corporate bosses embezzle billions through manipulated government?

    No again. Most Americans still haven't noticed this is going on.


  2. huh ?

  3. Father God will take care of mother earth, He made it.

    The states are responsible for most of their own infrastructure, the federal government is responsible for interstate highways and ports.
