No, that's not what i meant! I'm not really _that_ silly! :-)

Yes, just so. Maybe even more than a year or two, so it would be good to get started right away.

No, i was talking about actual humanitarianism. Socialist libertarianism, in fact: we've only the one world, rot naturally spreads, so the right thing to do is to organise things to the equal benefit of all, with the expectations that (a) everyone will support everyone else in living and letting live, and (b) political psychpaths (anyone who thinks power is a licence for private gain) will be summarily mashed flat without warning or pity. The deal is, someone has to do the mashing while the world is reorganising toward a healthier Weltanschauung, and currently the US is the 'best' candidate even if only on the grounds of power. Which is why we need to throw our own psychopaths out as quick as we can!
