Just because we're doing it wrong doesn't mean they will.

I've always liked qadaffi, sure he was a rabid, insane dictator but his united Africa stuff chilled the west to the bone.
If he's gone, I don't see Libya improving....

Just cause Democracy is shitty doesn't mean it can't be a step forward.

Of course, it can be a step back too, we'll see.

Reagan didn't think too much of him. Conversely, it seems Israel wanted to keep him around because they knew he had limits to just how crazy he was, as opposed to some of his higher ups.

Please, even Rome eventually went, "Fuck this" and went empire.

So did the Star Wars Galaxy, for that matter.

The Roman Empire had the right idea, just the leaders were quack jobs.

Quote from: Doktor Howl
McDonalds, if you think about it, is the PERFECT example of life/lifestyles in the late 20th/early 21st century. Pink slime shaped like chicken nuggets, giant lawsuit-happy corporations suing people for using the prefix "Mc" no matter what the circumstances, marketing aimed at small children (Ronald, etc) to form life-long associations with the product, and the abysmally-effective "I'M LOVING IT" marketing ploy aimed at maintaining that association into the person's adult life...With the advertisement showing skinny, attractive people while in reality the AVERAGE customer is 45 pounds overweight.

All style, no substance almost-food sold to brainwashed masses. It's AMERICA™, in a white paper bag.

Nah, it was there in the originals too.  Not to mention all the XU stuff.

The Old Republic was mentioned in the very first movie.

...and anything written by George Lucas is considered canon, whether you want it to be or not.
