In a similar vein....

So, the state of the world, as based on my (very) limited knowledge:

- There are countries
- These countries have people and leaders
- Some of these leaders are not very nice people
- Some leaders don't get along
- Some leaders lie to their people and kill lots of other people
- Some leaders lie to their people about doing the above
- There is an idiot and a sheep. The idiot wants to get rid of all the bad things in the world. Except the bad things which he likes. Or which he can't get rid of. Or which he can't remember the names of. He likes short, one word countries...anything like 'North Korea' is far too difficult.
- The idiot attacked a country to get rid of a nasty man who was killing a lot people. He killed a lot of people. The nasty man is gone, but lots of people are still being killed. Presumably, he anticipated this.
- A lot of people with a lot of guns are fighting over a small piece of land. Both of them need it, but neither can share. I think some sort of fence is being made.


As you can see, I'm not really much into current affairs. I like to look at the 'Big Picture'. History tends to repeat itself, anyway.
For example, the USA is the new Roman Empire - luxury, decadence, total military power, corruption - it has the lot. Therefore, it will soon crumble inwards, leaving a power vacuum which will mean a lot more fighting happens. Book your seats now, to the upcoming Struggle for Power!!! The front row is already taken by the Apocalypse Gang, so be sure to book now, before the other good seats are taken! Free nuclear warhead for the first 50 bookings! Popcorn available in the foyer!

However, I don't tend to think much about these type of things, and instead occupy myself with more important and relevant questions...like a use for 2^2^C outside of the number of subsets of 2^C, and what the hell 4/4 timing is.
