I on the other hand think that we need to listen to the council of some of our external friends. Just as many of us need a moderator to help us solve problems with our wives, a dispassionate view could be useful here.

Further, our affluence is, to a large extent, the result of bitter third-world exploitation and plundering of the environment. Although we do have many virtues, pridefulness over our ability to profit while leaving huge amounts of our people (and those in the rest of the world) in poverty is not appropriate.

USA built is good and, lord knows, I love Frontier, but it is not like no one else in the world does good stuff or has a good perspective. Even more, it's not like there is some sort of class difference that makes external comments less appropriate or useful.

Sincerely, TQ White II
