Millions for foreign-built clocks but not one cent for anything that will take the place out of the third world when the oil runs out.

The Middle East may end up a valuable resource for movie companies in a hundred years or so when those grandiose cities become ghost towns.

Greenwich may be far away and in another country, but at least I'm pretty confident that I'd be welcome if I showed up there.

Not so Mecca:

The entire city is 'haram' for non-Muslims.

Not like in the US, where we've used our economic might to:

  • Crush organized crime
  • Remove the causes of poverty and hopelessness
  • Vanquish the teaching of 'Creationism' and other anti-scientific nonsense
  • Legalize truth, outlawing medical 'gag' orders
  • Turn our auto manufacturing 180°; producing the world's best quality vehicles
  • Imprison murderers and fraudsters in *all* tax brackets

USA! USA!

No... wait....
