//It's admirable to broaden your scope of understanding and to find insight into different aspects of the American psyche. However, while relating a unique mind set within that psyche, it is incumbent upon the writer to also point out that application of that mind set to the current specific situation would be clear lunacy or a best bad policy.
A responsible writer must do this because a naive reader, such as myself, might conclude that the specific policy derived from this mind set is viable and not morally repugnant.
