I find this more a testament to the monumental stupidity of the human condition than anything else. I think Stella summed my feelings up quite accurately. I mean seriously, a ...

Meep, America doesn't "prance about". You'd think, from reading the posts here, that America is constantly up in every other country's face, insistent and demanding and policing. That simply isn't ...
