C2, I agree, the natural state of the world, including humanity, isn't a single, laminar flow a mile wide. It's an infinite array of eddies and vortices, with flow above Reynolds Number.

It's the attempt to force everyone into a strait-jacket which is problematic and the attempt seems to be made from time to time all over the place. I'm not arguing it has happened in the USA. I'm just observing that there are straws in the wind.
