They're all flawed ways.

The Western Way. The American Way. They shouldn’t be the only ways. Doesn’t bother me that the Russian/Putin Way has emerged.  I like that. The more ways, the better. Happens all the time that devotees of the America Way often think their way is the only legitimate way. They’d like a world in which there’s no competition. Where everyone goes the American Way. Undisputed. Thing is, the American Way was corrupted. Long, long ago. And never totally fixed. Never will be. I suspect that all political, economic and social ways are far from perfect. They all have serious flaws. Because they are run by flawed people. Flawed leaders. Means that I’m always looking for new ways. Could be that the Russian/Putin Way ain’t any more flawed than the American Way. –Jim Broede
