Condi Rice Doesn't Get It
So Condi thinks the world can work around or without Russia being involved. Never mind the 13,000 nuclear warheads or the vast natural resources or the rich cultural heritage. Stanford University gave this woman a doctorate on Russian studies. Obviously Condi wasn't impressed with the Russian tutorial.
Rice reminds me of an observation by the 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume. Hume was in correspondance with a friend who recently visted the Caribbean. The friend remarked how the darkies in Jamaica and other nations spoke perfect English . Hume some years later personally experienced the blacks in Jamaica. He came away with the conviction that the negroes were just reciting and copying white speech and culture like some parrot or Minah bird. They really didn't get it.
And so the philosopher accurately describes our blackbird.
