The hubris behind the idea that society can be "engineered" is infinite. Remember that quaint idea from the 60's that if we would house the poor in beautiful skyscrapers they would become better people?

Not only are the geniuses that came up with that idea still around, they are in charge of most of the country's institutions.

. Now, suppose the link were through those characteristics that cause us to innovate more than any other nation, or to jealously guard our rights of speech, assembly, and religion, and that if one took them out (as it were, made us Canadians), we would cease to be so inventive, and would become comparatively docile about government control of the media, or the establishment of a national church.
