America has become a country where ‘fear’ controls its Economics and politics.

USA, currently the only world “superpower”. And yet it is racked by FEAR. For me, that’s bizarre.

How sad it is that humanity classifies a superpower by military strength and not humanitarian or moral endeavour- perhaps some small island could then be classified as a superpower.

Obviously, as with anything in todays world, America’s “economics of fear” its playing out on the political front. The effect will impact the world, no question. Just as South Africa’s economy is built on crime … the USA, is fast becoming a fear based economy. So why do I say that?
