Rudi Gale, Clueless, indeed. But those twisted views, in my opinion, are the most common in the US, and in the Federal government, spoken or unspoken. We are dealing with some sort of wide-spread brain damage in the US.

Rudi Gale, I must add that, were it not for Dmitry's diplomatic control it's unlikely we would be having this conversation. Instead, we have a perfect specimen on view of what passes for civilized in the US. Perhaps it's too subtle for some, but the reality is shocking to informed observers. The seeds of internal destruction are now flying. I don't see any way the nation can hold together much longer. Nor should it. I believe Dmitry once speculated that the US nation would break apart into independent states and regions. back then, I immediately recognized the probability of that future as a good thing. Now I see it as inevitable. Too much internal propaganda. Too much brain damage for any other outcome..

Erna Beetge, Americans are generally immune to experiencing individual guilt unless convicted in a court of law. Not committing a crime is for them equivalent to committing a crime and getting away with it. And they are entirely immune, in their own minds, to experiencing communal guilt.
