We are all products of our past. To deny it is to deny our existence. Counter productive result of, no doubt, good intention. But you know what they say about good intentions, right?

Agree! Choosing to avoid the US in all my future travel. Friends are doing the same. Several planned trips recently cancelled amongst my circle.

I know many do not share values being espoused by your Govt. yet every day that regime's in power, shows good caring and hate amounts to nothing. Why are there not huge protests on the streets? South Koreans showed the way. Sitting back and waiting for next elections won't work, they may not happen

You open with a snide ‘clarification’ then use emotive words such as cranks, charlatans and grift. If you really wanted to establish a respectful counter foil to a well researched and successful body of work, you’ve totally missed the mark. Now, you look like the crank and charlatan. Well done!

Indeed!
