Well, what would you describe your country's decision to enrich the
Halliwells of your society as? Why have only two Enron executives gone
to jail? Why is good health care the prerogative of the wealthy?
That's not a country; that's a conspiracy to rape those unable to
protect themselves, and historically is squarely in line with the
pattern of US development on the North American continent.

I suppose you also think monogamous marriage is an expression of love
between two people and not an invention of the weak to stop the strong
from grabbing all the women for themselves.
