It is true, conservative politics ruin the world and America first, covered by the false justification of America first they ruined its leadership in the world, that is a fact...

But those people are so blind you cannot even start to start to speak... They attack you first...
I only want to point out that a system that considers itself as perfect and as complete for this same reason opens teh door to dissolution, to its end for to reach a goal means an end to a path whatever...

But to let some people, used by bad other obnes, understand this simple point is a mre chimeric thought! They cannot for the do not want... It is absolutely outside of their sight...

They will never understand that the fanaticism showed on capitalism as neoliberism **is** the door that opens itself to the end of this same system... For it can bring it, as it is happening, to stale state, and an aiplane in stale still cannot but fall down in peices...

It is true also: After Greece and Italy now it is the turn of France...

And another thing you wrote is true also: That the reform Obama is proposing the Congress arrives too few too late, only one year ago, if not tw, all would have been different...
