The Emerging Empire of The Dollar;
     Seems to me, if only semantically; that our beloved U.S.of A. Government 
cannot be simultaneously pursuing isolationism while spearheading the 
imposition of our eagerly awaited New World Order thru support for 
globalization.  Maybe, one of these initiatives is only a deliberately 
deceptive front (dat ol' Master Cabal, again).  Having our beloved country 
essentially run the planet by virtue of the influence of a dollar 
strengthened to historically unprecedented heights (and that on the basis of 
the most absurdly successful war profiteering in the history of the planet), 
is like giving drugs, guns, alcohol and car keys to teenage boys while their 
parents are away.  Our purchacing decisions will be our only real 
"democratic" influence on these "powers"; but, Hey! I like affordable beer!  
Icon seem now, paving the way for the free and uninhibited worship of 
consumerism for all.  Like the great "big" Lebowski, we must abide (What?  Me 
Worry?).
                                                                              
                    Truly,
                                                                              
                    Ruud
