Having lived for most part of my life in a place which has to a very high degree being to a degree a benefactor or influenced by the First Empire, and having lived the later part of my life espcially with my career part of the new Empire, it makes me often wonder what diffrentiates these two worlds.
And to a degree it is amazing how poles apart how these two Empires (the socialist or the communist would have rephrased it to be the Imperilist/Colonist which to a degree after the Iraq fiasco that too after such fresh memories of Vietnam does seem to hard to fathom).
All ofthem had come after seeing the PBS episode "Empire: Victoria".
Much of that can be understood by looking into an egalatarian Hagelsitic or Bernard Russel's British World compared to more Pragmatic "Pragmatism theory" of the americas.
