@fozmeadows Yeah, but none of that dialogue is a flat-out lie, more a series of incomplete truths. -

@fozmeadows The problem is about 30yrs ago, we stopped seeing, "Greatness," (not greatest) as a goal and started believing the hype. -
@kristenmchugh22 It's not that recent, tho; that's one of the things that grated. What else was Manifest Destiny but a belief in greatness? - Show replies
