You mentioned that you elected not to email him this time and that he is impervious. Are you saying that he failed to respond to your emails or that he failed to change his position?

That comment is totally meaningless except in what it reveals about Olbermann’s view of cultures that for some mystifying reason exist outside the United States.
What word would describe that view? Xenophobic? Bigoted? Ignorant? Something that encompasses all three?

Yes, airlines and airports would certainly not be willing to set up any ATC to prevent ruinous insurance premiums.

Actually, we’ve already infiltrated you, and are lying in disguise. One word from our fearless leader, Nanook, and we will pelt you with snowballs until you surrender your women to us.

If I were Putin I’d definitely try to invade / peacekeep, etc. Whatever got me permanent bases and access to certain resources. And if I were the strategists in the PRC I’d create all sorts of trial corporations, militant groups, funnel money into them and try to purchase gain some degree of control or influence over everything I could.

Well, in fairness, it’s not like any major geopolitical player worth their salt wouldn’t immediately rush in with espionage teams and funnel all their resources into subversion of whatever resistant force or city-on-a-hill example came to be.

And just because there are functioning anarchistic methods of running a stateless society doesn’t mean they’d be adapted in full. There is some substance behind the perception of “state-removal” as equating police strike.

According to Ed Schultz, a Ron Paul-type national government would mean no traffic lights or air-traffic control. *Sigh*
