Issue: I want my BBC. Why can’t I have my BBC...World New Service? Everyone else in the world has it: Europe, Asia, South America, even AFRICA, and we don’t let africa have anything, we’ve brought everything here, so they have to come to america to get even a little bit of what we’ve stolen from them. Shouldn’t we know too what every one else knows? WE ARE GUILTY. We are guilty of militarily and financially supporting violent, tyrannical, foreign thugs’ regimes, like Saddam Hussein and The Taliban. Those two snakes in the grass are creatures of American policy and financial aid. We are guilty of greed, see Africa above. We are guilty of luxury on a scale unseen since the Roman Empire fell into decline, like an 88,000 square foot private residence/compound in Florida. Our guilt is continuing in our head-in-the-sand reaction to the causes of 9/11, coupled with our continuing policy of waging, what in the past seemed like Campaigns of Error. Korea in the 1950’s. Viet Nam in the 1960’. Central America in the 1970 & 80’s: Remember Chile & the CIA’s overthrow of Allende, El Salvador, not just a movie, & Guatemala. In the 1990’s: Iraq. In the first decade of the 21st century, Afghanistan & an Iraq redo, are getting unfortunately to look more and more like flat out Campaigns of Terror. We just don’t WANT to know the suffering we’ve caused with our greedy hogging of all the most useful resources. Rolex watches are made out of things, gold or diamonds, that in the beginning, some poor sod who broke his back for a pittance had to retrieve from some dangerous mine. We wear them with a kind of Marie-Antoinette-Let-Them-Eat-Bullets kind of indifference to the suffering that went into making an object whose main purpose is to satisfy our most animal instinct for status displays, the proverbial peacock tail on your wrist. I want my BBC, so we can know too that a Rolex has a costly price tag.
