in america finity is no obstacle to progress, if you want more you simply take someone else's. if they don't like it too bad, it's an occupation. rules of the game. if they don't like it we kill them. we have long disabused the world of the notion that you can't have infinite growth in a finite system. the system of the take is infinite. except it's a bloody sham and will also fail, finally, but we'll wreck a hella lotta havoc enroute, and may even pop out a few more nobel peace prize winning genocidal precedents.
