Wrong wrong wrong- they still have slaves in Africa and parts of Asia (especailly the young girls sold into prostitution). Most countries are much more barbaric (still) than the good ole US of A. Try stealing in a Moslem country, or not wearing a veil where the Taliban is in control. The US is only criticized because it is so very open about its faults. When you talk about karma, think about Russia and the millions killed by their own government (very recently killed by your time scale). Millions in China too. I have travelled all over the world and although I loved Italy, I haven't seen anywhere I would rather live. I am no flag waver, as you know, but to criticize the United States for colonialism and slavery is just silly. Your efforts would be better spent working against the slavery that is still practiced in Africa and Asia.
