Sometimes, when I think about it, it is good to be American. There are some benefits to being a citizen of the world's most powerful nation. Not the most popular, but most powerful nonetheless, as the current administration subscribes to the Machiavillian principle of ruling by fear and intimidation rather than love.

Although, to be fair, I think human nature percludes us from being ruled by love. We are essentially greedy bastards, two meals away from moving back into caves and flinging faeces at each other. Left to our own devises without a firm government that has the law grasped firmly in a fist, life would indeed be short, nasty, and brutish. Just like my friend K's ex-boyfriends!
