Fred,

You do amaze me with your ability imagine what others think.

The intro to the article I linked observes my entire relationship with human culture is somewhat distant.

Personally I see America as humanity washing up against the edge of the global petri dish.

Personally I hitchhiked about 15000 miles around the US, as a teenager, back in the 70's, been to Argentina into 80's, shortly after the Falklands war, been to Central America various times, including a whole summer in 76, been to Europe several times, have a sister living in Switzerland. As well as being 12th generation American.

Like I said, it's a egg, but it is a large egg.
