Who won and who lost? That's easy. America lost. The Western Countries, lost. The thugs won. The bullies won. The crude won. And, we must ask ourselves why?.....how? To say that the concept of humankind as an animal that requires hard domination over itself by often cruel, greedy thugs, may explain it. It took us over 6 million years to get to the point that a brainier human developed and then Cro-Magnon, took over the planet about 100,000 years (plus or minus little) ago. Whether they killed off other species of humans, such as Neanderthal, is an open question. A question, I have spent decades questioning but am now beginning to see might be the answer to their dying off.
Perhaps we humans are better poised to be the the serfs on this planet that make the thug, bully, crude or narcissist our better. In over 100,000 years, the king vs slaves motif has been the predominant indicator of human existence. Perhaps that great experiment on the planet Earth was exactly that, an experiment doomed to failure by the overwhelming history of our kind. It took our small country over 200 years to begin to become the greatest on the planet, and less than 100 to turn the ship of state back towards the servitude we apparently need or desire in order to be happy.
Unfortunately, the minuscule number of evolved humans will have to pass away or be put away for the Chavez's and the Putin's to be truly happy. Which are you?
