Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.

The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

I don't think any of us really have a choice in the matter of our governments any more than a sand grain has a choice of beach or sea bed, right?

I'm not flinging mud friend. I think all philosophical government speak must come with a ribald pall. I am flinging a beer at a new friend in a digital bar for a few empty words. Sorry if my ebullience tints florid or dare I say turgid.

I've fallen through the social safety net of my respective government with an insuperable future. My sardonic outlook colors my words.
