re: #2 Khal Wimpo (the extinguisher of tiki torches)

From Gwynne Dyer:

The hardest thing that Americans are going to have to do in this generation is to get used to the idea that the United States is just another country. Still a very big and powerful country, to be sure, but not “the indispensable nation”, not a beacon of liberty shining into the darkness, and not the only great power that really matters.

This was written 15 years ago. America didn’t make the turn.

Christ. Typing one handed really sucks.
