rose: It's worse than I thought. Your prognosis is not good. You're living in a moment of history - an eyeblink of geological time - that affords the safest, easiest, most prosperous, most culturally and experientially enriching existence that humans have ever encountered....and you're not satisfied. There is one small ray of hope. Just imagine, for a moment, that the glass is half full.

Rose AC is Panglossian. Besides he judges people by their origins. Only origin counts. But he has an origin too. If I would be like him, and would judge him by his origins I would write: He's a Brit who immigrated to Calif. running away from the perceived decadence of Europe to take a free ride. Now hearing of the American supremacy being challenged, -which is not anti-americanism is just a judgement based on economics- he can't bear it. Imagine have run away from a country decandent and waking up to the reality that you are in another one. To counter that, he paints the Panglossian picture that everything is going wonderfully.
