Great article. The only thing I disagree with is describing those visiting Americans in 1994 as "auspicious". There haven't been any "auspicious" Americans in over a century, in government NEVER.

The American people (if there is such a thing) have been endlessly dumbed-down in schools where "all the children are exceptional" except for the truly exceptional who attend different schools that are either private or resident within public schools. The rest have grown to something called adulthood on a diet of; action movies, reality TV, social media half thoughts, hip-hop, etc. As a result the average potential elector has almost no span of attention, little knowledge of anything but the trivia of their daily lives and an inability to find almost anything on a map. I agree but this is what the Republic has wrought.
