When you say, "This "economic system" crap I expect from people like Bowser." My bet is you include anyone who isn't in line with Ayn Rand. And while you prognosticate doom for his entire country because of the "evil Chavez" and dufully recite Hayek's mantra of "You cannot construct a massively-centralized economy without enslaving the people who live there," I for one wait in rapt anticipation for your demonstration of the collectivist economic evil of China. Or India. Or Chile. Or Bolivia. Or any of the 'stan nations formed out of the former Souze Sovietnik Respublic. It seems they sit on vast oil reserves, have small populations, and are entirely Muslim.

Might I refer you back to the old Kingston Trio song (it went something like, "They're rioting in Africa, there's strife in Iran...) You could adopt this as your theme. And yes, I feel your pain.
