We don't want to believe that the US would do anything less than completely hororable. We're mental "children", a country is either all good or all bad. Amen...well said. Americans are conditioned to an either/or mentality from birth, largely created by a media that relies upon conflict to sell its wares: Dems vs GOP Right vs Left Liberals vs Conservatives Cowboys vs Redskins Cops vs Robbers Rich vs Poor Great Taste vs Less Filling Black vs White Ford vs Chevy North vs South Yankees vs Giants PC vs Mac Good vs Evil Lakers vs Kings Kramer vs Kramer VHS vs Betamax Hulk Hogan vs Rick Flair Right vs Wrong Dogs vs Cats Yale vs Harvard Ali vs Frazier We as a culture love absolutes...we love head-to-head conflict between the good guys and the bad guys, winner take all. We've even managed to reduce all political discourse to a struggle between the "Left" and the "Right", "Liberals" vs "Conservatives." No middle ground, no shades of gray, no possibility of some shared overlap of beliefs....you're either for us or you're against us. No wonder we are such an aggressive, bellicose bunch...its us against everyone else!
