To be honest, I enjoyed this conversation, even though I probably project some unfair assumptions onto you. I'm an American myself, so I'm also well aware of the beautiful side of American life. I guess we're ultimately in agreement that the best of America happens when we look after ourselves and our own homestead, and the same is true of Japan. I just get so damn frustrated when America can't seem to resist the urge to own everyone and everything, which is basically a destructive impulse. At the end of the day, national boundaries are not important, and the most useful qualities for the long-term preservation of our human race are humility and thoughfulness.
