Against The Word "Powerful"

There is a strange report in the ToI (and other papers) today about a US think-tank that has said "India is the third-most powerful nation in the world."

Further inquiry revealed the source of this assessment:

"Global Governance 2025" jointly issued by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) of the US and the European Union's Institute for Security Studies (EUISS).

So these are "security hawks" talking about "power."

Personally, I hate the word "power." I would like Indians to be free - free, that is, from the clutches of these powerful people. Power-crazy people. Control freaks.

But let us be sober in our assessment of our powerful netas and baboons: here is another report in the ToI of today that says a pedestrian overbridge being built for the Commonwealth Games collapsed.

This is NOT a Commonwealth Games. This is a CONgresswealth Games. The more we worship power, the more such people will be handling our affairs. We would be much better off without them.

No one would be powerful.

And every one of us would be free.

Utopia!

To drive the point home, let us look at the MOST POWERFUL NATION in the whole world - the US. What has their "power" got them?

I think it has got them a one-way ticket to HELL!

The US is getting screwed all over the world. Their economy is collapsing. There is a huge amount of social unrest looming - what with the Tea Party Movement.

Wouldn't the US be better off with a dollar linked to gold and a foreign policy based on non-intervention?

Just goes to show - these "security" hawks are a bunch of dumbasses. Power worshippers. Psychos.

Let us get rid of them.

Let us have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms - so we can be secure (and powerful) ourselves.

Let us have a Free Economy - so we can be rich.

And let us show the middle finger to the powerful in our God-forsaken country.
