Just for the record, we don't need no stinkin' democracy :)

And we can "borrow" overpriced software (not speaking for myself,
never liked that but that's what happens -- original piracy
targets included pepper which was sold for unjustified price,
still these days one would make a good laugh hearing about pepper
piracy I guess; exactly due to it becoming a commodity).

I'm from Ukraine which has been *severely* damaged by this
unneeded "democracy export"; and I don't hear that what's
currently happening in the US is anything near people's rule
but rather the opposite (some tell that looks very much like
late SU which they knew and left).

Yup.

PS: sorry for the offtopic, but I'm afraid many good people
do believe what they're told but what just is not true.
