I think that's what is meant by condescending. You can't know the minds or the hearts of the rest of the planet other than the few in your own direct circle.
You sound like you have discovered something of which you assume the rest of us are ignorant! I can assure you that this is not the case and the viewpoint is somewhat egotistical.
If I can offer my own take......I need to concern myself in what needs to be changed in me. Otherwise, the world is unfolding as it should.
I think the world is actually in a Mexican Stand Off! Technically, China would be the most powerful since they're at the end of the money trail...We all, including the US, seem to be up to our ears in debt to China and we can't afford to repay the loans.
But, if China stops lending, then we all go broke and then there's not a hope in hell of them being paid. Just seems like a race to the bottom!
What if she decides she wants her 26 counties back? Will she and Mary McAleese, also a Brit, get a bottle of wine and a DVD or will they hatch some cunning plan to unite the island under the crown?
