The World is Getting Disorderly

New countries are getting into the act.

What’s with all this rioting in Budapest? All the burning cars? Who do these Hungarians think they are, the French? Each country should have its own trademarked problem: Car burning = France.

And now there’s military coup in Thailand. When did they stop being peaceful? Gad! Again, they are out of line, my rule book says military coup = Burma.

There’s only so much I can keep track of. If I ran the world (my familiar refrain) there’d be a law where only so many countries can be in turmoil at one time. If you have a problem, you have to wait for somebody to resolve theirs before you can claim “troubled status”.

When was Burma's last coup, the early '90s? If they're not gonna do anything with it, it's time to let someone else have a turn.

We need a calendar of events for things like this - countries could take it in turns - one each month or something - that way, we'd all know what was going on!
