All this is a big debate, that we can't settle here.

I'd just like to quote J William Fulbright:

"There are two Americas: one is generous and humane, the other narrowly
egotistical; one is self-critical, the other self-righteous; one is
sensible,
the other romantic; one is good humoured, the other solemn; one is
inquiring,
the other pontificating; one is moderate, the other filled with passionate
intensity; one is judicious and the other arrogant in the use of great
power."

I continue to think of my friends of the first America, and hope that their
spirit will prevail.

Thanks for this Tony....don't give up on us.

Aside:

I was just thinking today about a post you made recently about the
possessive nature of the "American". I remember being in the Cairo Museum of
Antiquity (several times now) and having the docent address the group saying
time and time again, "the original is in a museum in London" :-)
