Wimpie - the United States has officially abandoned judgment,

religious fantasy. We are now the most backward and ignorant nation

guy is a glowing symptom of that sickness which has overcome our
nation. You folks in Europe would be best to just write us off.

There are some more backward and ignorant nations.
