That's simply not true. Charlie would object if anyone said that the
U.S. is populated entirely by baby-eating devil-worshipers who use
Walt Disney and Time Magazine to rebroadcast thought control rays
that keep the rest of the world in passive servitude, and shoot down
a civilian airliner every month for fun.
He would say that well under half the U.S. population are baby-eating
devil-worshipers, and that the U.S. military has shot down only one
civilian airliner in the past two decades.
