That expains it, too much focus on nonsense sports with what little reading you do being broken down to entertainment baseless opinion blogs.
Let's correct a few more things then I am done with this nonsense.
First The Roman Army was comprised of people from all over, much like the French foriegn legion. Smart armies always use shock troops which do not matter as sacrificial lambs before the elite troops set in. the elite troops then get the credit. "men die for pretty ribbons" Napoleon
Governments all over lie, while we all have the illusion of freedom in reality little has changed. For the most part elite wealthy families regardless of nation rule.
As warden pointed out your assertion that all water lines are tracked and replaced is nonsense at best. I was a contractor for almost two decades, tracking lines can be a nightmare. Regardless of how good a project sounds, there is still a budget and lot a of nonsense covered up with the common man non the wiser. If you think this is indicative only to America you are indeed a bigger fool than I ever anticipated. America is the distraction country for everyone else, so while you still have water problems your government makes sure to wave a hand and distract you, always works on fools which is why little ever really changes.
Last as I mentioned before your links suck, try reading from material which has a bibliography, then spend a little time making sure at least some of those references are correct. You would be surprised how often on the net references are nonsense or countersubject to the article at Hand.
Last I do not play the my country is better than yours nonsense, countries are little more than names placed upon imaginary lines with tax values applied.
There are differences of course however overall the general goal of mankind is essentially the same, fish, F@&$ and eat. I could give a crap less how a ruling party does, what I do care about is the betterment of the common man, a goal I though this site, comprised of world travelers shared, being a citizen of planet earth and all.
At anytime any of us could lose everything as historically societies since the spread of especially the white man (yes I am caucasion) have had little more than a handful of decades at best of peace. I would like to think that if something happened another place might welcome me as my ancestors were welcomed here.
I care about substance and not flash.
