Are you asking about all the repressive regimes we've supported and the countless human tragedies we've ignored as that result?

We even manage to victimize them without knowing where the hell they are. It's simply amazing. Take our neighbor to the North, Mexico. For years we have been exploiting their farm workers who stream across our borders trying to escape those hot Northern summers. Or our neighbor to the South, Canada. We don't even realize that, dammit, they are a real country anyway, even though the further into that country you get you end up so close to the equator it just snows and snows and snows. And don't even get me started about 'dem other continents. I can't find most of them on the map anyways. The one question I always wondered about in geography was, when you get to one end of the map, what the hell happens? I mean, do you fall off? Do a U-turn and head back to the other side?
