MC –thanks for the links –am reading as i can –will reply –

nmu/226; the big hearted person you address should realize that most people for most of human history have lived lifetimes (short, very short lifetimes) not ‘a paycheck from disaster’ but a meal or two from disaster. And now this person wants all of that history to go *poof* and be replaced by a weird time warp where the future utopia America prevents is proven by the past utopia which America prevented for a hundred thousand years before America even existed.

Again we see willful ahistoricism being used to cover comfortably contented moral idiocy.
