A great article on Language

Here's the link

This is awesome, people need to appreciate that it is awesome to speak English. Not in that it's the world premier form of communication. It's a social benefit. Great Britain in this case deserves to be great. The Past Britonians took their language and themselves, packed up, and moved themselves to further locations. They basically paved the road that the US would walk in the 50's and 60's. America was still installing toilets in private residences in the 30s. We are talking about a scant 60 years after digging a hole to shit in was rediscovered by scientists at the behest of John D. Rockafeller. Quite a feller to figure that out, so take that America and give it a lot of money. Take a Europe the culture of which runs thousands of years deep and just mess it up really bad, like if Europe was a house, it was a house filled only with children and matches. So the house has been burnt, and at this time the colonies of all the rooms in the European house decide to get the hell out. From my western view, bad call. I know that it is a large part of the reason the house got lit, but look what a mess Africa turned into. That's my western viewpoint, I've never been to Africa, I have no idea what's going on there. I can't help but paralel Africa and America at this time. Wow, if what happened to the American Tribes would have happened to the African Tribes, I shudder to think of it. In the parlance of economists, Colonialization was an engine for transforming foreign parts into cold hard cache's of gold. The European nations divided up as much of the world as they could gobble to stock up on everything they would need to hurle destruction at one another. Americans think they saved the day, and I think that is about right, but they think the Nazi's were the problem. Those psychos were just a symptom and from what they did, the real must be real nasty. The Americans saved the day because they got involved at all. This is a situation where everyone involved has a shared culture, but only America had an outside point of view and what is most important is what America did after the war. The United Nations might not be very effective in governing the world, but it's helped make major moves difficult. I don't know much about NATO, just that it is the European Union minus the USA. Anyway, Great Britain had a majority in world holdings and really influenced the people that they lived and worked with. So, when America got it's big shot, i.e. when the rest of the western world was in shambles, well it was like America got hired to a new job, and the people there were really cool. In closing, English is power, come get some world.
