When people stop reading you get morons wishing to nuke 'frogs' and who wish death upon the very extremists their government has fed, trained and funded until recently...but they no longer remember...their longest term memory is the fifth season of some scummy sit-com or telepicture about some prat abducted by aliens and mated with his mother...
I didn't stop reading, just moved on. Dr. Schmidt had an interesting observation on China. While we consider them as having a poor human rights record the Chinese see conformity for the greater good of society as being paramount. We have given up societal morals and the practical ability to prosecute many criminals because of individuals rights. Is one better or more just? Perhaps just different.
