US elected as Leader Of The Free World
Well, at least you'd think so, wouldn't you?
Watching the news on TV last night, I heard some commentator use the phrase "leader of the free world" when talking about the US. I nearly choked...
I mean, was there an election to fill that position? No.
So, how does a country get to be "leader of the free world" without being voted in? The answer is easy. It's called self-appointment. And it's about time such despotic practices were debunked.
YANKEE GO HOME !!!

"leader"? only if brandishing cruise missiles and abrogating treaties constitutes leadership.
"Free world"?
This is only a slight misinterpretation: "Free world" refers to how much the US is interested in paying for your resources.
Ahhhh GS, you're a breath of fresh air... Your type of American is not included in my "go home" invitation. :-)
But who is going to de-radicalise America? Who is going to deflate its hubris? Who is going to teach it the true ideals of democracy? Who is going to teach it to become a non-arrogant, non-exploitative global citizen?
Surely such changes can only come from within?
So, hop to it, GS, there's lots for you to do and little time in which to do it... :-)
"Free world", there's not even a "Free America".
And I like America's concept of "free" trade... Bwahahaha...
