I think the problem with the way you are seeing things is what I call the "Star Trek View of the Universe". This is where all Vulcans are the same, all Klingons are the same, all <insert planet> are the same. Example: > Americans, generally speaking, don't care about other people. That's not even close to being true. A cursory google search reveals that the US is at the top of the list of nations engaged in charitable donations, foreign aid and other metrics of generosity that clearly indicate that we do care about other people. And, no, Americans are not a homogeneous herd that thinks and behaves the same way. And that's why the problems and the solutions are sometimes very hard to sort out. Yet I'll take this any day to some of what goes on in many nations around the globe.
