What exactly does "the darker side of the world" mean? Canada?
United States? Other? If the USA, I don't especially like the
reference.

But nobody likes the US.

Then, I would strong suggest all these folks that don't like us
mount their own strategic, tactical and anti-terrorist defenses
and stop sponging off the United States. Without exception,
Canada and our so-called European "allies" have gutted their
armed forces after the Cold War was supposedly won in order to
fund Socialist programs even their own citizens don't want. And,
our old enemy, the Japs, hide behind some bull**** constitutional
ban against rebuilding their army, navy, and air force,
preferring to let the USA guard them against the Red Menace. You
foreigners make me sick!

You are deeply in debt. You are not as powerful as you think you are.

Some believe that the world converting to the metric system would greatly simplify our measures. But look what would really happen to our old cliches:

A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometers.
Put your best 0.3 of a meter forward.
Spare the 5.03 meters and spoil the child.
Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure.
Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers.
