Intellectual profundity and journalistic bombast -- Is English King?

[R. A. Stegemann]

Thanks for responding!

I am sure that President Bush thinks the same; hence, is strong 
alliance with Tony Blair. By the way, how many people speak Aramaic, 
Greek, and Latin today? In short, how many empires have ever survived? 
They leave their marks on the tree of world history and wither in the 
winds of time.

The only empires that we should be building today are corporate, and 
national and world governments should be monitoring and controlling 
their behavior, so that it does not get out of hand -- not propagating 
it.

Best wishes,

Hamo
