I am no longer defensive nor even embarrassed when people outside USA call me and my fellow Americans naive. It was true and still is to a large degree. America became one of, if not THE, biggest Players on the world stage as America is also the youngest.
But like an adolescent, America has been stalked and groomed by pedarastical molesters, swindled, and turned into a depraved junky.
Question:
Where else in the world can Americans look to other nations/cultures that survived such a molesting attack, found a way to clean up, and has now grown old to be wise???
