  2. Talking about leadership I dont think I've heard Lex talk about Lee Kuan Yew, the man was amongst the greatest leaders of last century. Him, Li Kwoh Ting, Sun Yun-Suan and Mahathir Mohammed are amongst the greatest to have lived, men who literally uplifted their countries from less than what they were despite the challenges they faced.

  8. Funny thing is Animal Farm pisses off the Left and the Right. Just as much as they accuse the other side of being the villainous ones.

  9. So in comparison the American Empire since 47 is the best compared to those that came before? Wow. Kinda make sense. -Peace (population growth, mass vaccinations, industrialisation of south asia, south east asia, southern Europe) -Trade(Variety of Miracle of Rhine, East Asian Tigers, European Reconstruction, export led growth of scandanavian welfare states) -Wasteland (Middle East,Vietnam, Dollar Diplo.) Set aside ideology and it all makes sense.
