My reaction is. . . . and. . . History is full of acts of all kinds. For centuries Catholics and Protestants slaughtered and burned each other. Maybe I should waste time feeling bad about that. I don't believe the USA is either terrible or particularly great (outside of its military might). In fact the entire human race, pretty much sucks and there are assholes to be found everywhere. The fact that the human race has not come up with a nurturing form of government from which humanity could launch upon it's golden destiny is mainly due to a lack of imagination and intelligence. Oh and the will to overcome the continual diversions that capitalism sells us so that we can overcome our monstrous boredom with the mundane operations of what we laughingly refer to as "our minds".
