And simply looking at history, I'd rather it was US imperialism than
some OTHER imperialism. <g>
because:
selfishness is not a right but a natural and normal mentality (that must
of course be balanced by other mentalities).

Tom, this is the worst sort of American exceptionalist theorizing
But it comes from the heart, so it gets a plus for honesty, at least.
You are a stand-in on this list, for Mr. and Mrs. Joe US Citizen.
Terrible, but true.
Two BIG problems with this. I believe that the indigenous might have
preferred even the Spanish. The Vietnamese might even have
preferred the French. And the Iraquis, the British.... if they just
came alone without Clinton and Bush being the guiding hands. I
could go on and on....... with this line.
Another big problem. Selfishness is not 'a natural and normal
mentality', except in toddlers. One can say that capitalism is
nothing more than a state of arrested development. Let's put the
honchos on Ritalin! Please don't offend our human nature again,
with this Christian apologism. Inherent sin, my God!
Comradely, Tony
