6. I don't believe that his expertise is in this arena.

I believe his observations are true of some individuals...
but society is not an individual.
Its a mass of different individuals each with their own understanding and perspective and opinion.


I honestly believe that the failure is that we are fundamentally selfish.
We don't value other Americans: we don't value any of 'the other'.
Instead we need someone to look down upon so that we feel superior.
Anyone who caters to that need by flattering us...has us eating out of his hands...while we stomp all over the people that are less deserving.

So of his three fallacies....I believe the don't want to...is the fundamental situation.
Every thing else is an excuse.

If we valued every other life as we value our own, we would be living in an entirely different world.
