A difference in sensibilities, Genz. (Maybe due to the fact that you haven't been to the States?)
Sometimes, America (the "beacon of democracy") worries me... Honestly. There are a lot of things that don't "compute" in my mind with what it does as a nation, and what it proclaims to be (to the world).
I think people sometimes need to be reminded of Hitler / Stalin / Pol Pot / etc.
I did not say Mitt Romney was Hitler. Like other dictators of this world, Adolf Hitler represents a danger that people can now identify. Before WW II it might have been Gengis Khan or some of the Roman rulers, but all that is in the too distant past.
Note that I use the word MAY a lot... What has happened before MIGHT happen again, but not necessarily. It's good to be aware and not blind.
