America has completely lost the plot.

Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

I honestly think Sally would be safer with a can of pepper spray.
If I knew how to give a big up thumb I would :D

Haha! I've been perplexed by that too! One night (drunk) I hit some keys on my keyboard and a smorgasbord of icons including the thumb came up, and as if I can remember what i did! - Maybe Henry could educate us? :D

Sally might disagree. Seems to me, she -- not me, not you, not legislators -- gets to decide how, and with what, she defends herself.

Great, for starters.

Well that place WAS GREAT, PERFECT, and HEAVEN-LIKE, well BEFORE it was STOLEN, or TAKEN BY, 'you', "others".

*And it was, OBVIOUSLY, NOT great as "america" 'pretended', but as some people liked to PRETEND that "America" was great. For example, like a past president, from the days when this was being written, who VERY MUCH PRETENDED that the "america" it knew WAS great,

Henry,
America has always been an imperial power and a colonizer all the while claiming to be the exact opposite, today it is a grandiose example of a power seeking world domination. America has a long history of imperialism most Americans simply do not know their own history but buy into the propaganda, as American exceptualism.

Always? Hyperbole. And -- as I say -- there's a difference between America and United States.
all the while claiming to be the exact opposite
What's the opposite of imperial power and a colonizer?
today it is a grandiose example of a power seeking world domination
This is the nature of The State, yes.
America has a long history of imperialism
Nope.
most Americans simply do not know their own history but buy into the propaganda
Well, yeah, a good number are straightjacketed by propaganda (I believe you fall into that category), but not most, no.
American exceptualism
What, to you, does the myth of American exceptionalism entail?

Hang on, which one of me are you talking about wanting to bend over (presumably so you can violate one of our bottoms (that we share (most of the time)))?
