re Western cultural decline Bruce Wilder on DK's site see especially Obst's remarks also centralization of structure
"I do hope you caught Fareed Zakaria's interview with Hollywood Producer, Lynda Obst, author of Sleepless in Hollywood", a book explaining the new economics of Hollywood, and why it drives almost ridiculously formulaic sequalitis, 3D everything, and an emphasis on visually spectacular effects, crashes and chases.
She omitted one of the causes I would have emphasized, which is the centralization of industrial structure, but, otherwise, she hits some of the highlights.
Culturally, she emphasizes that Hollywood is producing its high-budget and most salient product for the China market. The Chinese only admit 34(?) American films a year for general theatrical release, and 3D gets priority, so all the American blockbusters are 3D, and all are blockbusters in China, even if they fail miserably to satisfy the American market.
Anyway, much fodder for analytic contemplation."

RE NEGATIVE SUM GAME ATTACKER STATE ECONOMIC ATTRITION
I would say, I haven't researched this term,
but it occurs to me now anyway,
that another nice, tidy, term for this concept of Negative Sum Game
might best be
economic attrition, or more simply but less accurately, trade attrition.
The concept of free rider hardly captures even the tip of the iceberg of the reality, really.
Economic attrition seems to capture the flavor,
following on Gabor Steingart 's notion of attacker states,
rather nicely.
The best actual military conflict situation analogy I can think of might be, say, the Western Front in WWI.
Another that springs to mind, The Punic Wars.

RE YUEH BBC US VERSUS CHINA A SHORT CHRONICLE OF SELF INDUCED DECLINE
The Negative Sum Game
Accelerated since 1979 re China.
Before that, we had disastrously boomed Japan, and others, around the Pacific rim, keeping our negative sum game going since late 40s, really.
IMF, WB, BRETTON WOODS, COLD WAR BOOM, ETC.
Economists were always fond of telling politicians it didn't matter whether you made machine tools or Twinkies, the invisible hand would cause things to come back to equilibrium.

RE SOLAR PANELS EU CHINA
China will jam as many of those things, and anything else they can make, up the EU's ass, as they possibly can.
The EU has no concept of a national economy,yet national economies are really the only kind of thing against which a concept such as a free rider would, once upon a time, have made sense.
A free rider really is, in spite of the economists' mumbo jumbo, really based, in the last analysis, on national economies, not an undifferentiated global economy.
The EU is a mega porceria.
De Gucht, the grand appeaser, talks the same old tired passé free rider lingo, but caves when the time comes.
The EU and China have reached, temporarily, the China Price.
This is so called cartel managed trade, not so called free trade, ie not what free rider talk is all supposed to be about.

RE MS KENNEDY MAY SUCCEED MR ROOS AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN
Mr Roos, a silicon valley lawyer, top fundraiser for the President. What did he know, going in, about Japan, trade, Asia, geopolitics, government, any government, even his own?
Who knows? What about her? Benevolent NGOs, mainly.
She has written some books, within the legal field, that I am aware of. What may she know about Japan specifically, etc.? Who knows, probably not very much. I think her husband is Jewish, not Japanese.
Reviewing his background, he has had a prominent career as an artist, of a rather special kind. Of Ukrainian, Jewish, New York, immigrant stock. He was appointed, 2011, to The US Commission of Fine Arts, by the President....maybe he knows Blitt?
Tells one, in a nutshell, all one needs to know, really, about our system, and its mechanisms.
What we have had here, really, is closet aristocrats, but not aristocrats in the old mold, who actually often knew something, often quite a lot, about their diplomatic compeers.

BACK IN THE DISTANT PAST
Back in the 60s, 70s, even into the 80s, they were still writing articles, and referring to old articles, Harvard Business Review, with names like "One more time, how do you motivate employees", about middle class work.
American management mavericks solved that problem, they have come to think, by eliminating domestic workers, first blue, then blue and white collar ones, who needed or qualified, back then, for this kind of social psychology motivation.
Foreign lieutenants use a somewhat different regimen, involving if not different concepts, at least different carrots or sticks, for the foreign workers, in foreign shops.
I very seriously doubt whether these old HBR social psychology concepts are much in use over there.

re stand one's ground statutes DK's site and Larry's observation
These statutes, it seems to me, do not change the existing weight of authority on this issue, if one looks at the issue of self defense, as it has stood for a long time.
What has changed is the extent to which those so threatened now have either guns or knives at the time of being attacked.
The laws have also made people aware, who otherwise would not have been, of the feasibility of carrying a weapon in the event they believe they are attacked, but more especially, in the event they want to throw their weight around verbally or with aggressive gestures, and be immune from censure later if physically attacked.
Still, unarmed attacks, where a stand ground defense would apply, are not all that common (the obvious downside of doing so), and armed attacks leave little ambiguity.

RE WWII AS A DEFENSIVE WAR RETURNING TO KENNAN
As I recall, his thesis was based in part on an assumption that Germany, Russia, and Japan might combine, say all three together, which would have been an insuperable combination.
That was the main explanation, aside from temporary preparedness issues, for why he called it a defensive war.
Given the history of each with the other two, such a combination seems to have been highly unlikely, in fact impossible.
Japan and Russia had fought the War in 1905. They later colluded in a nonaggression pact designed to allow the Japanese to attack the Pacific and the US, without worrying for the moment about their back. But this was a temporary expedient.
Germany's lebensraum was considered to be in the East, where Hitler had almost as little respect for Russians, especially Bolsheviks, as for Jews.

RE THE RULE OF LAW
I don't know exactly what it means, in practice.
One can find vigilantism, even in local police forces, or by individual officers within them, as well as among private citizens, of various countries all over the world, not just here, by the way.
I would call it vigilantism, but it can be done by established law enforcement agencies. The obverse side of official vigilantism , one obverse side, at least, is selective enforcement, where only a certain area, population, ethnic group, etc., is targeted for heightened official vigilance.
One can have, overlain on this selective enforcement, lay authority, third parties re ethnic or religious violence, violence against or from foreigners, etc.
This is normally what is meant by vigilantism, is unofficial force, but I believe it makes sense to call official selective enforcement
' official ' vigilantism, or say political oppression; in poorly organized societies, there is little difference really.
It is a more complex subject, once one gets into looking at it.

soon americans will either be at war, or be told they have already surrendered, in a region they were unaware was of any real threat, except the so called human rights one, where foreign nationals kill or mistreat their own citizens.
Because our regime cannot really address the geo consequences of its profligate Asia boom system, it has to couch any move there as one actuated somehow by human rights, rather than other, more serious, ideological, and geopolitical, causes of global rivalries, left unstated. 'Free rider' is about the only context in which this enormously grave situation has even been uttered over here.
Guess what? That is how they have liked it, for 5+ decades now.

RE VIGILANTISM AND RACIAL PROFILING RE ZIMMERMAN
I see these as interrelated phenomena, both in this country and elsewhere. But they are each very complicated subjects or groups of subjects.
For example, one can have, for instance, also as interrelated phenomena, clan profiling within a single so called ethnic group.
Or one has ideology, or political party, profiling, as in communists versus fascists (very popular in the early to mid 20th century), which would no doubt cross so called racial, religious, or ethnic, lines.
One can have religious profiling, as in the case of Catholics, Muslims, or Jews (none of which do I consider to be a separate racial group),
within an ostensibly, merely mostly whitish, pool of people, some citizens, some not.
Re Murder 2 versus manslaughter:
Murder 2
(2)The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

RE OECD TO CRACK DOWN ON MNCS TAX AVOIDANCE GLOBAL SMUGGLER NATION CORPORATE MULTINATIONALISM
A band aid on corporate multinationalism.
The penalty should be something like offshoring to Nauru.
That would solve things, but few governments are strong, by themselves, to attack corporate multinationalism.
They have all been weakened by multigovernmentism and corporate multinationalism, institutions and commercial regimens that were intentionally set up, cobdenistically, in the early 20th Century, to promote peace and universal prosperity.

SCHUMPETER DESCRIBED CAPITALISM as a process of CREATIVE DESTRUCTION
From a civilizational, or national, standpoint, particularly advanced ones, we can, I believe, simplify that still further:
For an advanced civilization, or an advanced nation state, unfettered (more or less) laissez faire capitalism is a process of
Destructive Destruction.
There have been pundits that say such things as 'China is now only returning to its historical weight.' (cyclicality argument brought up to date re creation/destruction thesis, the Chinese the Jews of Asia finally getting back on track, etc., etc.)
One flaw in this argument, among others, is that China had no
' historical weight '.
At perhaps its most powerful, relatively speaking, it had been a vassal state of the Mongols, the Khans, who also conquered Russia around the same time.
One might as well argue that Mongolia is returning to its historical weight.
Similar arguments, no doubt are made re the modern state of Israel. Utter nonsense.

RE ARENDT EICHMANN ETC CONSTANTINE'S SWORD THE WEST AND GERMANY
Way too much attention has focused on Hitlerite Germany, as in some way beyond the pale of evil, and somehow qualitatively apart from the long tradition of intermittently violent anti Semitism that not only informed, but really largely defined, Christianity, and Christian Europe, for 2,000 years.
It had never ever been mainly a German thing, anti Semitism.
One has only to look, briefly, at the Dreyfus Affair, in the 1890s, a few short decades before, in Catholic France, an enormously long, politically troubling, affair for all concerned, to notice this fact.
Going farther back, as Carroll did, maybe not the greatest account, but there aren't so many, other events, over a long period, are chronicled for the layman.
Few Americans could read an 1,100 page book, out of their narrow specialty, for pleasure. I sympathize with them.
Many of these countries killed, expelled, or forced conversion on their entire Jewish populations.
It was not by any means a new or unusual thing, by the time of the 30s in Germany. Spain and England had each done the same. Others as well.
The Crusades, a thousand years ago, were begun with gatherings of Crusaders across Europe, often first killing sometimes whole Jewish enclaves in European communities, as a prelude to going East to fight the Muslim Infidel.

RE BBC SOUTH ASIA DISUNITY RE FLOODS
Why should it be called ' disunity ' that hampers south Asian flood information?
I guess they are claiming a unified south Asian state would be better able to deal with things politically.
Good point. Makes one think of the disunited United States.
Why not better explanations, simple backwardness, retardation, different languages, lack of being modern states?
Disunity does not keep big countries, like the USSR and the US, France, etc., from illicitly spying on each other extensively and globally? It does not prevent them from cooperating on their airspace, weather information, etc.
The ' unity ' of the EU did not change that much there re weather info, or flight safety, I am guessing.
After all, as Putin said re Snowden, and re US pressure to unify the global community it has sought to cobble together, "We are an independent country." They are not particularly unified either.
Why should disunity, rather than some other better explanations, prevent weather information sharing?

Great thing.
Time to nip all this Asian, and Latin American, transhumance. We had too much immigration here, even in the 18th Century, much less the 19th.
A lot went back, to Britain, after the Commonwealth. Too bad more didn't.
Those of our ancestors who got in were just lucky, rather than entitled to nationality automatically.

RE BBC ROBERT PESTON THINKS ITS OBVIOUS BUT ITS A NEGATIVE SUM GAME PAYING THE CHINA PRICE
"What China needs to do (to state the blinkin' obvious) is to boost consumption -
which is also at record lows as a share of GDP compared with both advanced
economies and emerging ones."
Why would an economic attacker state, threatening to take over the top spot, so Peston and others say, and on the march, boost domestic consumption, when it can continue to feed on foreign high currency consumption?
Why?
No reason. Perhaps the Chinese have seen that not only is it not a Zero Sum Game, but going forward global competition is a negative sum game.
If you can punish foreign economies even more than yours suffers, by making them consume ever lower and lower down the food chain rather than producing, and also producing less and less, while keeping yours from consuming but still able to produce to do it, then you can take over foreign economies at some point.

Globalization Kennan Patton etc
Going back to the post below, let's start with a really troubling prior inquiry:
Did the Cold War really have to be fought, at the time, at all?
If so, why? If not, why not?
Was WWII, after all, even a defensive war, really, as Kennan certainly later claimed?
What are some of the things we know, more or less, and in fact Kennan, of all people, also knew?
One of the things we know, looking back, is that Stalin had carried out a horrific purge, of most of the top management of the Soviet regime, in the late 30s, several years before the war even began.

JUST A SHORT NOTE RE GLOBALIZATION AND PLAN B
Those here among the majority in both parties long have assumed that globalization was, somehow, as American as apple pie.
Certainly, they reasoned (not really reasoned), if anybody can believe, or at least deeply pretend to believe, in this super national supranational ideal, we could. That, unfortunately, for many different specific reasons, is emphatically not true.
(Parenthetically, we don't, and never have, deeply believed in a more fully United States, a more fully unified integral state. It has always, structurally, been, and been intended to be, a loose confederation, with a meta government overlain.)
The deep problem for them, in both parties, going forward, is that there is, and more importantly, cannot be, politically, a good Plan B, assuming globalization fails at this stage of human history.
Another problem, now, is that weaknesses in this globalist system are coming out all over, all at once.

It is not about consumer rights or power.

RE BBC EUROPE GOOGLE'S ANTI TRUST FIGHT NEEDS APPEASEMENT
This appeasement language suggest the quasi governmental, and military, directions, in which large private companies will turn.
Its competitors are not mom or pops, over there, nor business 'junior partners', such as Jaron Lanier, in Who Owns The future, would suggest siren servers like Google should partner with in a better tech world.
It is these: Microsoft, Expedia, Nokia, Oracle and Foundem.
None of these competitors will be appeasing, or seriously profit partnering with, you, or me, any time soon.
