~~  ALL the brazilians upon brazilians spent on nifty flying toys that go lightening fast and make big kabooms over the past 50 years; we shoulda been digging a massive supersecret underland & undersea tunnel and laying lotsa pipe, …plug into that pool of Saudi black gold everybody’s jostling over and pump it over here on this side of the pond.  It’s what we want, …who’d deny anymore it’s what the fighting’s all about.  Coulda saved a lot a money and lives in the long run.  Lives that’d still be making love and raising children in complete homes built by guys with both arms intact…& money that could have been invested in some of the more thriving economic times (prior to the last 8ball years), money that could NOW be spent on fast flying toys for the elite girls & boys to zip around and blow things up in…in war games and other peacetime rituals….
