RAF, >those of us too young to be guilty.. How does that line above fit in with the "genetic propensity" to drop nuclear bombs on Japan (or at least wage war)? Mike

First, let me say that I believe the US DROVE the Japanese into that war, and that the American people who supported that, and our other 'discretionary wars' are criminals. Then consider that the people who were adults then, and had some complicity in those war crimes, seem (in most cases) to have escaped any consequences, or even benefited. OTOH, those of us who were too young to be guilty are now suffering the natural consequences of our nation's evil history ... "the parents have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge". I want to believe that those who seem to escape this life without suffering the consequences of their evil acts will be reborn to suffer, as, for instance, in the coming collapse and die-off. RAF
