    So what is Hong Kong here - a clue? A hint? Which of those ideas has "worked", and when?

    Reminder, of the situation:
    Meanwhile:
    So basically what we have now, only larger - expanded into central banking, medical care, and some other stuff that isn't getting done now because the federal government isn't doing it.

    Except for that last sentence, that sounds like the story of America. And Hong Kong itself didn't really get to pick who owned it. Not quite big enough to throw it's weight around. Also, the fact that they were successful and valuable is probably what made them worthy of grabbing.

    I'm not really sure that directly addresses my metaphor.

    I don't understand what you are saying. That sounds like it might be the opposite of what I'm saying, but I can't be sure.

    It's what you're saying, as it would read to someone acquainted only with its real world context. Someone unfamiliar with the fantasy world of the whackjob Right in the US.

    Still waiting on the "ideas".

    Sure. Except for the part where we declare war on the Empire and run our own affairs for hundreds of years.

    Except they were grabbed long before they became successful.

    Sure it does.

    You guys are great. How about you hold your breath until I think up a good response?

    How many more weeks do you need?

    Still waiting on those ideas. Maybe if you delved into some of Paul Ryan's speeches? There might be something buried in there the media hasn't picked up.

    I think I'd be OK if you could give me a solid 8 minutes.

    Really, waiting is easy. I more ways than one.

    It is obvious you don't know what you are talking about friend, else you would not need so much time to think about it.
