Bribery is such a better means of getting things done! And in the old days
great powers demanded tribute instead of giving it out! lol But considering
the cruel exploitation of poor third-world workers by us and our major
manipulation in the internal matters of other nations, can't we be
considered a neo-colonial power? I think the shoe fits.
