"Frankly, this "Fool me once, make it a hobby" mentality is pervasively American if not built into the human genome. How else explain the ability of the American people to go back to the same lying, hypocritical thugs, time and time again, like abused children hugging their abusers, confident that this time, this final time, things will be different?"

I think he musta meant pervasively human, since the poser maretplace spans every continent on the globe. And after reading that, I thought about all the Japanese created digital cameras that didn't quite fit the bill properly, and are replaced with new models every 3 months or so.

Truly though, that slam aimed at Americans is quite offensive. I would think the Poster wouldn't own any american produced items since they are so inferior... must not be running Windows or a Mac either, since they are American made.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
